Activities & Mission

We bring books to food banks. We create relationships between food banks and the arts sector by sourcing volunteers from the books industry to staff a regular 'bookbank' at a local food bank. The book bank is a stall of free donated books and printed materials - where food bank users are encouraged to browse, take books, donate their old books and engage in conversation about books and more.
