The Indigenous Literacy Project
The Indigenous Literacy Project (ILP) is a partnership between the Australian Book Industry and The Fred Hollows Foundation.
These communities select and order reading material from catalogues and sample books provided by The Australian Booksellers Association. The Fred Hollows Foundation staff also identify other literacy needs.
The books are then supplied to schools, libraries, early learning centres such as crèches, women's Centres and other identified institutions, to enhance their pool of literacy resources.
Our major fundraising effort in 2009 is Indigenous Literacy Day to be held on Wednesday September 2 2009.

50 Books You Can't Put Down
Do you love a book so much that you can’t put it down and can't bear to finish it?
We do. Which is why, as part of this year’s Books Alive campaign, a FREE Guide to 50 books that you can’t put down has been produced.
And when you buy one of the 50 books listed in the Guide between 26 August and 30 September 2009, you’ll receive a FREE book – either a dazzling collection of brand-new short stories by ten of Australia’s best writers, or Grug Learns to Read, a new title in the classic Australian children’s series.
You can view the Guide here, or pick up a copy at your local book retailer. And browse our site for more information about the free books, events, authors, and much more.
