Our Commitment to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) At Lilydale Books, we are proud to play an active role in improving the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children in Australia. This is why we have proudly partnered with the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF). When you shop in store, proceeds from every reusable bag will go directly to supporting projects run by ILF. The initiatives by the ILF raise the language and literacy skills of children in remote areas. This is in conjunction with ongoing fundraising events that Lilydale Books will hold throughout the year. You can also support the ILF by signing up your school to host a Great Book Swap on Indigenous Literacy Day. Our Commitment to School Book Rescue In 2019 we became proud sponsors of School Book Rescue. We believe we should have a minimal impact on the environment hence we are strongly committed to recycling. School Book Rescue provides primary and secondary schools with new and pre-loved resources where they are needed most. So far we have donated hundreds of books to School Book Rescue. Our Values
