A massive $4700 has been raised to continue Casey Cardinia Libraries (CCL) free book delivery service.

Since stay-at-home restrictions came into effect in March, CCL has been delivering books, DVD’s, magazines and ‘binge bags’, to local residents in their homes.

CCL has begun a fundraising program which seeks to raise money to continue delivering books and other items to locals in their homes, because even when this pandemic is ‘over’ there will still be people in the community who cannot safely leave their homes.

To continue these deliveries, CCL need your help; just $30 can provide book deliveries to an isolated person in our community.

To donate go to: ccl.vic.gov.au/support-our-book-delivery-service/ or call customer care on 1800 577 548 now to donate by Credit Card or PayPal
