We are a national book industry charity, which aims to reduce the disadvantage experienced by children in remote Indigenous communities across Australia, by lifting literacy levels and instilling a lifelong love of reading. We do this through our three core programs:
We gift new, culturally appropriate books to communities that need them. We have supplied over 350,000 books to over 280 remote communities in our lifetime.
An early literacy program designed to encourage reading in children under five, and inspire their families and carers to get involved. Some Book Buzz books are translated into first language.
We have published 90 books written by community, some in their first language, with support from many of Australia's renowned authors and illustrators.
