Deutsche Schule Melbourne launches its Library Fund enabling the establishment of a bilingual library with a focus on children's books. "Our aim is to reach 1000 books in the library by the end of the year - 75% German and 25% English" explains Florian Dehne, chairman of the DSM. Each $30 donated will allow the library to grow by one book.

Donors are recognised through a special mention of their donation in the inner cover of the book. "I trust there are a large number of individuals in the German-Australian community that would like to make a tax-deductible donation of $150 for five books. And this would be one of the most rewarding opportunities to make a difference in the local German-Australian community", says Dehne.

Once the library has reached a critical mass of books, it will be open to all members of the school association.
