The categories primarily impacted by flood damage include adult fiction, large print books, junior and young adult books, children’s story books, children’s DVDs, jigsaws, audio books, parenting, and junior non-fiction.

Chief Executive of Casey Cardinia Libraries Beth Luppino said the donations would to restore a sense of normality to the community after such a difficult period.

“Public libraries play a key role in wellbeing through the provision of free services and safe spaces, helping this library will help the Lismore community recover faster,” Ms Luppino said.

“We saw how much our local communities valued our libraries during Covid-19 lockdowns – now it’s our turn to help the Lismore library and community to get back on their feet.”
