How we work

New children's books
A very important starting point is that Biblionef distributes exclusively new children's books. Via our children's books storage library in Surinam and our contacts on the Antilles and Aruba the receiving institutions can indicate themselves what they need by using the most recent lists of the Dutch publishers. 

Selective and meticulous
Biblonef regularly receives beautiful parcels of new Dutch and English children's books free of charge or buys them at a large discount. Distribution of the books is done selectively and meticulously. Our volunteers look at every book to see which book is suitable for which organization, check whether the request for children's books is serious and whether there is a guarantee for proper use of the books. There is intensive cooperation with existing initiatives of other aid organizations at home and abroad.

Fund-raising for South Africa
An important spearhead of Biblionef Nederland is the fund-raising for the many projects of Biblionef South Africa. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Dependence on gifts
The success of Biblionef depends completely on gifts, donations and sponsoring of businesses, schools, funds and private individuals. The enthusiastic commitment of many volunteers makes it possible for the work to be done at low costs. Become a friend and contribute to the reading pleasure of a great many children or consider the possibilities of helping as a sponsor or volunteer.
