Christmas 2022

December 07, 2022 by Jane Stratton

Give the gift that keeps on giving: Buy a book and support our multilingual communities.

2022 has been another tough year for communities all over the world which makes this Holiday Season and end of year celebrations all the more meaningful. There is no better present than spending time with family and friends… but if you’re looking for a gift to make this Christmas even more special, then why not give the gift of language and reading? We offer a wide range of multilingual books for kids and resources in over 70 languages!

When you buy from LOST IN BOOKS, your gift keeps giving. Books fuel the imagination and multilingual books keep languages and culture strong. Every book purchased supports LOST IN BOOKS, a social enterprise that offers the Think+DO Tank Community House, an inclusive hub for community, creativity and multilingualism in Fairfield. It fuels our work to help Australia to appreciate our multilingualism, and give the gift of belonging to every Australian.
