Wednesday 6 September marks Indigenous Literacy Day, a national day to celebrate Indigenous culture, stories, language and literacy. This is a day to work towards closing the literacy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous children, with donations helping to provide books and literacy programs to remote communities across Australia.

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation encourages us all to participate in this day  – here are some suggestions:

• Hold a Great Book Swap
• Make a donation through their website
• Hold a literacy event such as a book launch or storytelling session
• Take an ILF donation box to work or school
• Advocate for us on social media and tag @IndigenousLiteracyFoundation on Facebook and @IndigneousLF on Twitter with #ILD2017

You can also go to the ILF website to buy a book!
