There, they are able to choose everything they need to start again.

We're a small social enterprise based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Run by a three avid readers and our dog Echo (our quality control expert), with the vital support of a small group of supporters, we've managed to combine our love of reading with our passion for supporting & advocating for refugees. We do this through fundraising and by donating a portion of our profit to charities supporting refugees & asylum seekers, including the Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group, Refugee Advice & Casework Service and Rural Australians for Refugees. We're also strong proponents of a circular economy, as we sell mostly secondhand books that have been donated to us, as well as a selection of vintage clothing and items, thereby saving tonnes of books and clothing from waste disposal every year. We clean, sort and price each secondhand book to encourage people to reread them, often before having those same books donated back to us to go through the same process again!
