Hundreds of books, magazines and DVDs are on sale now at the Bowen Library as part of their annual clear-out which sees countless gems ready for purchase at an affordable price.
The book sale started this Monday and will continue until Monday 28th February.
Robyn Batman, Team Leader of Bowen, Collinsville and Proserpine Libraries said that every year they weed out older books to make room for the new.
“We are always making room for the new,” she said.
“We have to have a certain percentage that are less than five years old.”
They also look to books that have not been loaned out often or are a little tatty and place these for sale.
Every book is just $2 and magazines are 50 cents. Often the DVDs are free.
All the money received is then re-invested back into the library to pay for additional resources or ‘wish list’ items that in-turn benefit the community.
Mayor Andrew Willcox said it is wonderful to see the old books get a new lease of life and the library benefit from the sale.
“This event offers our residents the opportunity to rehome books, while sharing their support for the services our local libraries provide,” he said.
“Our libraries are such valuable community spaces, where individuals can expand their imagination, knowledge and interests and I encourage everyone to get involved.”
