2011 GIANT BOOK FAIR

The Giant Book Fair is a project of the Rotary Club of Galston. It is one of the major fund raising activities for the club, with the funds raised being used to support many worthy causes and local community needs.

In 2009 the Book Fair raised over $27,000 for community and Rotary projects such as the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Galston High School and the Rotary Mental Health Research Foundation, amongst many others.

The organisers of the Giant Book Fair would like to thank the public for their generous donations.

This year’s Book Fair will be held at the Dural Memorial Hall, 604 Old Northern Road Dural (near Vinneys Lane / Redfield College) on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st July, 8:30am to 5pm  A clearance sale starts at 3pm on the Sunday.

Once again it will be a huge event with 50,000+ books including special ones.

As usual there will be The Collectors’ Corner as well as a pre-1950s section, with books going back to the 1800s, both of which are always busy places to browse for that special bargain. Altogether there are over 50 easy to find categories of books, including the children’s room, all at bargain prices. In addition to books there are lots of quality games and jigsaws and hundreds of records, CDs and DVDs.

The Rotary Club of Galston once again is asking for donations of books, records, CDs, DVDs, games, jigsaws, and instructional magazines (no 78 RPM records or audio cassette or video tapes please).
