Giving back to our partners
Our Commitment to:
Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF)
At Lilydale Books, we are proud to play an active role in improving the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children in Australia. This is why we have proudly partnered with the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF). When you shop in store, proceeds from every reusable bag will go directly to supporting projects run by ILF. The initiatives by the ILF raise the language and literacy skills of children in remote areas. This is in conjunction with ongoing fundraising events that Lilydale Books will hold throughout the year. You can also support the ILF by signing up your school to host a Great Book Swap on Indigenous Literacy Day.
Our Commitment to:
School Book Rescue
In 2019 we became proud sponsors of School Book Rescue. We believe we should have a minimal impact on the environment hence we are strongly committed to recycling. School Book Rescue provides primary and secondary schools with new and pre-loved resources where they are needed most. So far we have donated hundreds of books to School Book Rescue.
Our Commitment to:
Asylum Seeker Resource Centre
Founded in 2001, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia’s largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum. They are an independent not-for-profit organisation whose programs support and empower people seeking asylum to maximise their own physical, mental and social wellbeing. The ASRC movement is proudly supported by a community of committed volunteers and supporters.
Lilydale Books began supporting the ASRC by donating to their organisation in 2014. In 2023 we began supporting students directly and provided books and stationery to a number of students through the ASRC.
The transition from our previous vendor to Lilydale Books was smooth and seamless, with the Lilydale team here to help us every step of the way. Lilydale Books are a small family-operated company, and by the nature of this are extremely responsive and professional. They care about every customer and every interaction.
We partner on packages for schools and appreciate the ongoing support provided to us by Ayesha and the team. Lilydale Books is one of the few distributors with which Cambridge has invested in system integration, providing our customers with a seamless digital experience through Educational Ebooks.
Minaret College teamed up with Lilydale Books to improve our customer service to our community, provide a cost-effective solution to our parents and students and a tailored service to meet the unique needs of the community that Minaret College serves.
Lilydale Books are a delight to deal with and we highly recommend them for any school looking for a mutually beneficial partnership.
Lilydale Books has been a long-standing and valued business partner of Oxford’s for over 30 years. Over this time we have seen both businesses continue to develop and grow on the journey from print-only material to providing the latest digital and blended learning solutions for Australian school students and teachers. We will continue to work closely together with Lilydale Books, striving to provide the best possible learning materials and means of delivery to Australian teachers and learners.
Working with the team at Lilydale Books has been a wonderful experience. From beginning to end, we get the support we need, from trialling new texts and resources to add to the booklist, seamless administration of number of complex subscription arrangements, and of course, great support for our learning leaders. Parents and students also get all the help they need. Being local and not too big is one reason we love Lilydale Books – our parents and we get great personal service.
In January, our eBooks are all set and ready to go (we love the SSO feature)!
