WHAT WE DO
The Footpath Library distributes new and excellent quality secondhand books to people experiencing homelessness via mobile services in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.
We collaborate with other providers in the homelessness sector to provide a truly unique service. We are a registered charity, and maintain a high standard of physical and content quality – only giving books to our clients that we would be happy to give to a friend or relative.
The Footpath Library does not receive government funding.
We’re Australia’s only free-giving mobile library for people experiencing homelessness.
“I really believe that reading is freedom. Books help keep people healthy and happy and truly are food for the mind and soul.”
