Clear out your bookshelves for CQUni book sale 

Published on 08 May, 2013 

Community members are asked to clear out their bookshelves and donate generously to the CQUniversity Library Society's Annual Second Hand Book Sale on August 18.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in November, the Library Society is hoping this year's book sale will be the biggest and best fundraiser so far.

Library Society committee members Pancho Garcia and Sally Dhu and volunteer Sue Turner are busy sorting through book donations ahead of the upcoming book sale in August. "We're looking for textbooks, children's classics, fiction and non-fiction books," newly elected committee member and book sale coordinator Kati Norman said.

"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

For more information, please call the Library Society on 4940 7536.
