Books for Bats Silent Book Club Melbourne Fundraiser

Silent Book Club Melbourne is hosting a special in-person fundraiser in support of Fly By Night Bat Rescue — a volunteer-run organisation caring for injured and orphaned flying foxes and microbats across Victoria.

The idea is simple: read quietly together and raise funds to support flying foxes and bats who urgently need help this week.

Why do this?
Melbourne is forecast to experience its hottest days since 2009. As temperatures soar this week, the critically threatened community of Melbourne flying foxes is at serious risk.

How it works:
- RSVP for the event (please consider donating a suggested ticket price of $10 to Fly By Night Bat Rescue)
- Bring your book and get comfy amongst the beautiful trees at Fitzroy Gardens
- Donate if you're able
- Read. Rest. Support bats

All readers are welcome. You don’t need to be a regular Silent Book Club attendee — just someone who enjoys quiet reading and wants to support a good cause.
