Bookshop ideas promoting ILP

There are many ways that you can help make this campaign a success.

If you are undertaking any activities for the Indigenous Literacy Project please register so we can advertise participating bookshops on our website.

Here are some ideas to get you started

• Support the campaign by giving 5% or more of your takings on Indigenous Literacy Day.  Here are some comments from bookshops who have participated in ILD in 2010.
• Encourge your customers and bookclubs to participate in the The Great Book Swap.
• Spread the word by incorporating information about the campaign (along with an opportunity to make a donation) at industry conferences and trade shows, in presentations to clients, at schools and libraries etc.
• Demonstrate your support to others by including campaign messages on your sales receipts, invoices and in mailouts or putting a link to ILP on your website.  We can send you ILP logo for your newsletter or website.
• Use the campaign as a team building and fundraising opportunity within your bookshop.
• Hold a sponsored bookreading and invite authors to participate on Indigenous Literacy Day.
• Find out more about Indigenous literacy and promote discussion about the issues with your friends, family, colleagues.

Please let us know what you are planning to do to support this important industry initiative. We’d like to help generate local support if we can.
