Library Society members, who will celebrate the group's 20th anniversary in November, have been busy collecting and sorting a variety of good quality second-hand books in preparation for the sale.

Book sale coordinator and committee member Kati Norman said they will still be accepting books from the community up until August 2.

"We're looking for textbooks, children's classics, fiction and non-fiction books,"

"If the books are in relatively good condition, we are happy to take them."

The Library Society is a volunteer organisation run by community members to raise funds for the CQUni Mackay Campus Library to help purchase resources.

They also offer bursaries to local students to help them cope with the financial burden of university study.

Guidelines for book donations:

  • no dictionaries, encyclopaedias or magazines
  • no pick-ups - please drop books off during library opening hours
