Celebrated children's author Morris Gleitzman said the money would help encourage reading at the school.
"It takes a village with a good range of books to fully raise a child," he said.
Amazon Australia will donate $20,000 worth of books to bolster 40 primary school libraries across the country, in partnership with the Australian Children's Laureate Foundation and this year's Children's Laureate Morris Gleitzman.
Mr Gleitzman said his aim as laureate was to educate adults about the different contributions they could make to the children in their lives, and the opportunity those children have to read as widely and deeply as possible.
"Try and remember that stories have so much to give to young people," Mr Gleitzman said.
"When a young person in their imagination goes on that story journey with a main character they identify with the way the young character is growing and learning and developing as they struggle with the problems in the story.
"Those changes, developments and benefits also occur for the reader who is there alongside - in the shoes of the character - sharing the emotions and sharing the ideas."
The author said "good stories shared off the page are one of the most fundemental and powerful educational tools."
"My parents joined me up at the local public library at quite a young age.
"I can remember my mother taking me to a bookshop for the first time and the incredible excitement I felt that I could take home books... I could keep them."
Mr Gleitzman said he had heard from thousands of readers over the years the importance of rereading a much loved story.
"One of the wonderful things about books, the stories in them and the reading of them, is it's something that can be shared throughout a community in all sorts of ways," he said.
"Young people as they are finding their place in the world are always looking for areas of acceptance, when people buy books for children there is a special connection there."
