Aotearoa’s Little Libraries initiative is helping boost literacy and life prospects for young children by placing beautifully designed, child-height book stands in early childhood centres.

With books displayed face-out at eye level, tamariki are more likely to explore and engage.

You can support this kaupapa by becoming a “Library Legend” — helping provide books to 80 centres for just $10 per title.

Just another reminder of the power of books in the world.
