Our programs

Brothers and Books is changing the stigma around reading whilst supporting positive mental health. The platform is responsible for thousands of new readers finding purpose in the pages of books recommended by you.

Brothers and Books has donated over 11,000 books, $210,000 of libraries and over $150,000 to other charities since its inception in 2020. It has established over 91 community libraries around Australia, with the goal of utilising bibliotherapy to decrease stress and increase resilience in the workforce.

We believe all people have a story to tell, and that your experiences and advice can have a dramatic impact on others who are in a similar position. Brothers and Books provides a private platform for people with varying struggles to connect with those who have triumphed over them.
