As parent members of the education subcommittee, we’re writing to ask you to make
a tax-deductible donation to help the library

cater for all the students’ interests.

Library appeal to provide resources. We do
this because the Library receives no
targeted Government funding.
Your contribution can buy:
$25 - A new picture book
$35 - An illustrated non-fiction book
$45 - Two new novels
$60 - A reference book
$150 - Multimedia resources
Every single cent of your contribution
will go straight into new Library
resources.
