Books add 'colour and excitement' to Mooroopna Park Primary School following floods

Dymocks Children's Charities was delighted to recently deliver $7,200 worth of books through our Library Regeneration Program to Mooroopna Park Primary School!

Located in rural Victoria, 181km north of Melbourne, the Mooroopna community have been heavily impacted by the recent flooding.

With over 350 brand-new books for the school's 114 students, hear how the program was received by the school... "This program has brought so much joy to our underprivileged school community. The books have added much colour and excitement. We've received a new and exciting range of books for the students to borrow. Some of our students have never received anything new in their lifetime so to have access to these new books is wonderful to see."

Happy reading Mooroopna Park Primary School!

Dymocks Children's Charities were very pleased to work with Mildura Primary School to breathe new life into their library and deliver brand-new books for the students. This was thanks to the kindness and generosity of the Ratnatunga family.

New Partnership with Turbans 4 Australia delivers books via essential hampers

DCC is extremely excited to announce a new delivery partnership with T4A - Turbans 4 Australia, a wonderful charity that provides community assistance to people in need. Whilst DCC have delivered books to children in need through local school communities, Turbans 4 Australia has also provided hundreds of books directly to vulnerable children alongside their essential food hampers.

Turbans 4 Australia is run by volunteers in Sydney who are currently coordinating contactless deliveries in the communities hardest hit by the extended lockdown. By delivering essential goods directly to these people in need, the risk of community transmission of COVID-19 is reduced and vulnerable people can be kept safe from having to leave home.
