Books are stacked and ready to go at the Rotary Club of Narrabri’s popular Maitland Street book sale.
The organisation has opened the doors to its pop-up book shop this week.
The shop, located at the former newsagency building, is a major fundraiser for Rotary.
Reading interests of all tastes are covered, with the range including fiction and non-fiction as well as different genres in each section.
There are also books for all ages, including some special interest items, as well as DVDs. Since the last sale, the club has been buoyed by continued book donations.
Rotary Club of Narrabri president Jocellin Jansson said the club was thrilled to see its much-loved sale return, this year for a limited time.
“Don’t delay. We’re encouraging people to shop early and shop regularly,” she said.
“There is an incredible array of books on offer again.”
Rotary has been buoyed by the community’s continued support, with a lot of new stock on the shelves.
“We thank the community for continuing to support the sale so strongly.”
Last year’s sale was a tremendous success, raising almost $40,000.
“Every dollar we raise at the book sale goes back into the community to support local not-for-profits, charities and youth programs,” Ms Jansson said.
As the Rotary year draws to an end, Ms Jansson is preparing to distribute thousands of dollars of donations to local organisations.
It is customary in Rotary for the president to issue donations to a variety of Rotary and local causes at the end of their presidency.
“A substantial amount of our income is distributed across mostly local organisations,” Ms Jansson said.
The book sale has developed from a book section at a garage sale held at the showgrounds to the stand-alone sale in the Narrabri town centre.
Narrabri local John McDonald has kindly supported the initiative by providing the Maitland Street shop for Rotary’s use.
Rotary’s book sale will be open from Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, and on Saturday from 9am to 12pm, for a limited time.
