This is a great learning resource for all ages and is available until August 2022.
We are a national book industry charity dedicated to lifting literacy levels in remote Indigenous communities, so all children across Australia have the same choices and opportunities.
Gifts engaging, new, culturally appropriate books to communities that need them. We have supplied 537,100 books to over 400 communities, featuring at least 40% by Indigenous authors and illustrators.
Promotes early literacy and familiarity with books in children under five with a dedicated story-time session. Carers are supported to share books with their children in home languages and in English.
Produces and publishes books by Indigenous people for Indigenous people. These books are important because they represent culture, community life and language.
More and more, we’re realising that Indigenous Literacy Day is more than just a day - it’s a way to engage with and celebrate First Nations peoples, languages, and stories everyday of the year.
To celebrate and share Indigenous histories, cultures and stories with your youngsters, we’ve put together a special, exciting Indigenous Literacy Day event for primary and early learners, available now until early December.
The ILF is excited to be launching a new interactive map, which shows the depth and breadth of our work with remote communities across Australia. Originally designed for use by people in remote communities looking for more information about the resources available to them, this public-facing map has been adapted to provide a snapshot of the work ILF does in remote communities.
With a number of different features, you can use the map to see what remote communities we work with, what books we’ve published, and the languages that are used in those areas.
When lockdown hit, we could hardly believe we’d have to do our Great Book Swap over Teams for the second year in a row. Like most businesses, everyone at Bloomsbury Publishing had assumed that 2020 was a one-off.
At Bloomsbury Australia, we love our annual Great Book Swap! So we weren’t going to let a pesky lockdown stop us. We had successfully navigated a virtual event in 2020, so we’d just have to do it again!
