POP-UP LIBRARIES
Promoting ‘Reading Aloud’ to children anywhere, anytime. Continually re-stocked with donated books, our pop-up libraries are located in medical centres, welfare offices, community centres, and kindergartens.
Parents are encouraged to choose a book from these libraries and bring it home for their child to continue the concept of ‘Read-Aloud.

"I have had the most wonderful response from families regarding the ability to take one of these books home and it is lovely to watch the families choosing one with their child. It has also made leaving the centre much easier for some of the children who have been reluctant to leave the toys. So, win/win!"

WHY WE DO IT?
Being literate is the key to accessing, interpreting and processing information around us. Targeting the years 0-5 is vital in creating an understanding of our complex language system. Roop Books, Developing a love of play and reading from an early age feeds a child’s natural curiosity with learning. Being exposed to developmental play and storytelling are the very basic foundations of literacy and language progression. It is the key to academic success that can assist in breaking the cycle of poverty. ROOP BOOKS, HE PROBLEM
Too many Victorian children are entering the school system either illiterate or with extremely low literacy skills. Many low-income earners struggle to afford books for their children, widening the literacy gap between children from a low socioeconomic background and those of higher income status. ROOP Books, Lack of literacy skills can cause low academic performance across all curriculum areas, spanning a child’s entire school life. If children are not supported in their literacy journey it can feed into an unbreakable cycle of poverty.
