Community and the Environment

We do this through a number of initiatives:

Charity of the Month.

Boomerang Books donates money each month to a selected Australian charity.

Member of the Australian Made Retail Supporter Program. 

Boomerang Books is a member of the Australian Made Retail Supporter program.  For more than 20 years, the Australian Made, Australian Grown Campaign has been helping consumers to exercise their preference for buying Australian, and promoting Australian products in Australia and increasingly also in export markets.The famous green and gold trade mark was launched in 1986.

Support for the Indigenous Literacy Project.

Having set a target of $100,000 in donations for 2007, the Indigenous Literacy Project exceeded its expectations by raising over $179,000 for indigenous literacy.  This money will be dedicated to purchasing books and literacy resources for a host of Aboriginal communities across Australia. Boomerang Books is proud to be involved with this very important initiative and has again pledged its support for this year's Indigenous Literacy Day, which falls on Wednesday 3 September 2008.

Member of the Australian Booksellers Association.

Boomerang Books is a proud and active member of the industry body for booksellers in Australia, the Australian Booksellers Association (ABA).

Support for the Australian book industry and Australian Publishers.

At a time when most booksellers are fighting to curb the impact of Amazon and Borders, Boomerang Books represents an Australian online bookstore that showcases Australian book titles first and foremost, and publishes Australian book content.  We have recently launched an Australian Publisher Support Program to help Australian publishers sell more Australian books.

Universal book discounting.

Boomerang Books encourages Australians to read by providing regular opportunities to purchase discounted books across our entire range.  We discount much of our catalogue - not just the mass produced paperbacks that are sold as 'loss leaders' in the discount department stores.
