Snap up a bargain at the Friends of the Library Book Sale
Published: 17 Feb 2025 1:51pm
With hundreds of books, DVDs and more up for grabs, this year’s Friends of the Library Book Sale at the Wagga Wagga City Library is a great chance for local residents of all ages to bag a bargain.
The two-day sale will be held in the downstairs children’s area of the library at the Civic Centre, on Friday 21 February from 4pm to 6pm, and Saturday 22 February from 9am to 12 noon.
Library Services Manager Christine Bolton says this popular annual event is an opportunity to hunt down a bargain and support the Library at the same time.
“There’s a fantastic selection of books and our Friends are excited to offer the community this chance to get their hands on some quality titles,” Ms Bolton said.
“All funds raised from the sale will go to the Friends of the Library, which provides invaluable support to the library’s programs and services throughout the year.”
This dedicated group of volunteers have been supporting the library for more than 30 years and have raised thousands of dollars.
Items will be $3 for adult books, $2 for children's books, or you can fill a bag for $15.
Friends of the Library President and local author Suzanne Houghton is hoping to see the community rally around one of the library’s long-running and cherished events.
“We will have a large range of donated and retired items, from fiction and non-fiction, children's picture books, young adult novels, history, health, and DIY books,” Suzanne Houghton said.
“All funds raised are used to directly support the ongoing work of the library to purchase books, technology and recreational resources, such as the interactive activity wall in the children's area.
“It is our role as the Friends of the Library to advocate, support and promote the library's many services and programs to the community. Many people don't realise the breadth of services and programs offered by our wonderful library service.”
