When you buy a Friends 50/50 ticket, you're not just entering to win – you're investing in the literacy and future success of children in our community. Your ticket purchase directly supports the creation of an expanded children's library at our Waverley branch.
The expanded children's library will provide a space designed to support early literacy, spark imagination, and bring families together.
Every dollar raised brings us closer to opening the doors on a space where a child's first library card becomes the key to endless possibilities, where struggling readers find support, and where the love of learning takes root in the next generation.
