Book Fair

The first Book Fair was held in in July 1983 with approximately 20,000 books.  The last Book Fair, held in 2019, saw for sale early 100,000 books, magazines, records, CDs and DVDs.

In the past,  in each odd-numbered year, the Friends conducted a Book Fair.   A sale of second hand books – fiction,  rare books, CDs, DVDs sheet music etc.  Books include texts, Australiana, foreign languages, art, medical, engineering and commerce.  All books are categorised.   In fact we have over 50 categories.
