Book Week
Celebrating stories. Creating opportunities.
Book Week is for everyone
Book Week is a time for children across Australia to celebrate the characters, adventures and stories that inspire their imaginations.
However, not every child has the same access to books and literacy opportunities.
At Dymocks Children’s Charities, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of reading, regardless of their circumstances.
Whether you’re a school, workplace or community group, Book Week is a chance to celebrate stories while helping more children access books. Ideas to get involved:
Communities
Bring people together to celebrate reading and support children’s literacy.
Schools
Celebrate Book Week with your students while supporting literacy through Library Boost Project.
Workplaces
Host a book swap, morning tea or fundraiser with your team.
Why access to books matters
Every child deserves the chance to discover a story they love.
A favourite book can spark curiosity, build confidence and create a lifelong love of reading.
For many children, books are a gateway to imagination, learning and new possibilities. When children have limited access to books, they can miss out on valuable opportunities to develop literacy skills and connect with stories that inspire them.
That’s why ensuring children have access to books is so important.
The Library Boost Project
The Library Boost Project gives schools and communities the opportunity to fundraise for brand-new books, helping create inspiring reading spaces where children can discover stories they love.
By joining Library Boost Project, you can help provide children with access to books that encourage imagination, confidence and learning.
