Examples of books we would love donated
Books we don’t send
We do not send books that are in anything less than very good condition. As a guideline, this includes books with any scribble, tatty covers, torn pages.
The following appear in donations every year and it takes time for our volunteers to remove them and money for them to be recycled. If these books are within your donation, we would ask that you remove them before they reach us please:
used colouring books and activity books
cook books, self-help books, dieting books etc
books with racist or offensive content
out-of-date reference books
books in languages other than English
books unlikely to be of interest to children aged 5-18
text books (ie. Australian curriculum specific books as they cannot be meaningfully repurposed in Fijian schools)
CDs and DVDs
Kindergarten supplies
We take kindergarten level books, wooden educational toys, art and craft supplies, and other durable early childhood toys & games. We do not send soft toys, battery operated toys or CDs/DVDs.
