Where your books go

Every donation finds a home.

Books that match our age range head straight to the next swap event. Anything extra still finds someone who'll love it.

Future swap events

The bulk of donations stocks our upcoming swap tables — Greek titles especially.

Schools & daycares

Multilingual classrooms across NL get fresh Greek and English picture books.

Community libraries

We share extras with neighbourhood reading corners and family-support charities.
