Rotary big book sale is back

The annual Warwick Rotary Sunrise second hand book sale is back.

The annual Warwick Rotary Sunrise second hand book sale will occur again on Tuesday 19 April, from 9.00am to 4.00pm.

It will be held at the Rotary Storage Room on the corner of Tooth and Wood Streets, and is open for six days.

Rotarian Sally Edwards said she cannot wait to open the doors.

“We have even more donated books, CDs, and DVDs than last year in every category,” Sally said.

“There is a large area full of quality kids books, both fiction and non-fiction, and every child who comes receives an extra free book.

Warwick Rotary Sunrise president Peter Rodeck said the event is the the club’s main fundraisers of the year.

“All the money raised goes back into the local community,” Peter said.

“We usually run the book sale earlier in the year but our sales have been disrupted by Covid – this year we are back on track but Covid precautions still apply.”

He said that everyone who enters the sale building will be asked to sanitise their hands and maintain a safe distance from other patrons.

“However, it is a big space and there is plenty of room for everyone to keep a safe distance apart,” Peter said.

“There is plenty of parking around the side streets and there will be volunteers on hand to help you to carry out your books if you buy up big.”

Volunteer Sandra Head said that paperback books will be priced at $1 and hardbacks priced at $2.

“There is no reason not to stock up on some great reading,” Sandra said.

Rotary are still accepting book donations, and boxes of books in good condition can be dropped off at B and K Motors in Albion Street.
