Need to know what the Travelling Suitcases are?  Make sure you check out the Travelling Suitcases page to find out how your school or library will benefit from borrowing these brilliant resources.

Queensland schools and libraries are now invited to apply to borrow your choice of Book Links’ Travelling Suitcases.  You can read all about the suitcases on the website and the Projects page here on the blog.  In brief:

• The loan period is approximately 5 weeks
• Schools and libraries that are corporate members of Book Links will be given priority bookings

To apply:

When finished:
