Accio Books
Accio Books was our first campaign as The Deluminators. A campaign founded by the headquarters of The Harry Potter Alliance, Accio Books aims to collect as many books as possible to redistribute to children and adults who do not have regular access to the literature we value so highly. Our goal was to raise 2,000 books by the end of April, but due to the generosity of people in our neighbourhoods, as well as a major work weekend we spent in the ‘Booktopia’ warehouse, we came out with 9,512 books! We distributed these based on need to both the Footpath Library, a great organisation that focuses on getting literature of all sorts to people who are experiencing homeless and to the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation, who build libraries in remote parts of Australia. Overall, it was a very successful first campaign and resulted in global recognition from the HPA community.
