Indigenous Literacy Day 2012
Today is Indigenous Literacy Day, an initiative by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to help raise funds and awareness for literacy in Indigenous communities.
You can participate by making a donation, supporting an Great Book Swap event in your local community or buying a book from a bookshop that supports ILD and will donate a percentage of sales today to the ILF.
I’ve listed a few below, but if your event isn’t listed, please feel free to add their details in the comments.
