In recent times, and with enormous thanks to one of our most wonderful customers for his very generous contributed donation, we had the opportunity to learn about the great work that Galilee School are doing for high schoolers across the community.

Galilee support young people to thrive in environments that cater to their range of diverse needs, especially where mainstream schooling can sometimes miss the mark.

They even have dogs that the kids read to, to practice their reading and oration skills 🥹🥹 how cool is that!?

It’s our great pleasure to have donated a selection of books for the kids at Galilee, and we are looking forward to continuing to partner with Galilee over the coming years.

A huge thanks as always to all of our wonderful customer community - your support of our bookstore, helps us in turn to support kids and literature across our community. Thank you thank you thank you!
