Read-Cycle: Giving Library Resources a Second Chapter

Georges River Read-Cycle is a sustainability initiative that connects pre-loved library resources with the local community organisations that can put them to good use.

We're inviting Expressions of Interest from eligible community service organisations, government services and registered not-for-profits to receive donated library stock free of charge. Whether it's stocking a waiting room, supporting a literacy program or simply giving people access to books they'd otherwise go without, Read-Cycle is about making sure good resources find good homes.

A wide range of materials is available, including children's books, young adult and adult fiction and non-fiction and books in Chinese and Greek.


Submit your expression of interest using the form below by Friday 31 July 2026.


Eligibility

Applicants must be a not-for-profit, government, or community service organisation serving the Georges River community in a non-commercial capacity. Eligible organisations provide services in one or more of the following sectors:

  • Education
  • Health and welfare
  • Multicultural services
  • Youth services
  • Refugee support
  • Low-income support
  • Care institutions
  • Charities
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations

Applications are assessed based on organisation type, demonstrated community need, intended use of materials and available stock. Preference is given to organisations serving the local Georges River community.


Update - 29 May, 2026  

Successful applicants in 2026 will remain eligible to receive library items for a period of 24 months. Expressions of interest will continue to be published every 12 months. That means that if your organisation submits a successful application this year, it will automatically be included for consideration in next year's Read-Cycle program, no reapplication required.

Update - 12 August, 2026  

Read-Cycle expressions of interest for 2026 have now closed. Applicants will be advised on the outcome of their application by 21 August, 2026. Please visit this page to learn when the next EOI opportunity will be advertised.
