Great Book Swap 2026

Great Book Swap 2026

The countdown is on! Myli Libraries’ Great Book Swap is just three weeks away, and now is the perfect time to start gathering your pre-loved books.

From 31 August to 6 September, you can bring along your unwanted (but still much-loved!) books to your local Myli library, browse our swap collection and discover some new-to-you reads.

Bring a book — or ten! — and swap them for something different, with a gold coin donation for each swap. Every donation will go towards the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, helping support their work with remote Communities across Australia.

Click here to view participating Myli locations. 

What can you do now?

Start your book pile — have a look through your shelves and choose some books that are ready for a new reader.

Tell your book-loving friends — the more people who join in, the more books there are to discover!

Save the date — the Great Book Swap runs from 31 August–6 September, during regular library opening hours.

Get inspired — take a look at the First Nations authors, illustrators and creators in our collections while you wait for swap week.

Whether you’re looking to clear some shelf space, find your next great read, or simply support a wonderful cause, the Great Book Swap is a great reason to get involved.

Start sorting those books — we’ll see you at the swap!

 

  • About the Great Book Swap

    The Great Book Swap is a fun way to share the joy of reading while supporting the important work of the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF).

    The idea is simple: bring along a pre-loved book you’re ready to pass on, make a gold coin donation, and choose a new-to-you book to take home. It’s a wonderful opportunity to give books another life, discover a new read and come together as a community for a great cause.

    Funds raised through the Great Book Swap support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation’s work with remote First Nations Communities, helping increase access to culturally relevant books and supporting literacy, language and storytelling.
