During the book swaps, participants can bring a favourite book and swap it in exchange for another for a gold coin donation or alternatively purchase a book from the pre-loved book stall on the day. All donations go to ILF which helps correct inequality by assisting to remove barriers around the cost and accessibility of obtaining books.</p><p><em></em><strong>We need your donations for our event in August - please bring your pre-loved books to the UTS Library Enquiries and Loans desk from 1 July - 28 August. </strong></p><div>The Great Book Swap is a fantastic way to celebrate reading in our local community, and raise much-needed funds for remote Indigenous communities. Last year, the Indigenous Literacy Foundation raised over $190,000 from the Great Book Swap and this year their goal is to raise $300,000 to gift 30,000 new books to remote communities who have few to none.
