In each odd-numbered year, the Friends conducts a Book Fair. This is a sale of second-hand books, rare books, records, CDs, DVDs, sheet music, etc. Books include texts, Australiana, foreign languages, art, medical, engineering and commerce. etc.All books are categorised, In fact we have over 50 categories.
After a very successful Book Fair this year we will be opening for donations on 17th September at Hunter Lane each Tuesday from 9am to Noon. MAP
DONATIONS
We welcome new and used books, rare books, CDs, DVDs, text books, sheet music, comics, all in good saleable condition.
We cannot accept encyclopaedias, magazines, including National Geographic, Australian Geographic, records, video tapes or books unsold from other book sales. If books are yellowed, torn, written in or with pages stuck together please recycle them rather than bringing them into us to do so.
It would be appreciated also if the books could be packed in smaller sized boxes for ease of handling for our volunteers.
If you have any enquiries please do not hesitate to call Lesley Gent on (02) 4955 6360 or alternatively 0409 325 979.

Hi there, do you accept donations of textbooks? From 2012 but in perfect condition.
can you clarify, do you take paperbacks in good condition? old sci-fi mostly, old enough for the paper to have browned but not shabby or falling apart.
