A Treasure Trove for Book Lovers
For book enthusiasts, the Bundaberg Central Rotary Club’s book sale is a true treasure trove.

Whether you’re in search of the latest bestseller, a timeless classic, or a hidden gem, this book sale promises to cater to all tastes and ages.
“It is wonderful to see that books are still treasured by many in the Bundaberg Region, by both young and old,” says Sarah Duff, a member of the Bundaberg Central Rotary Club. “To see children excited about choosing their next book to read is always an experience that never grows old. Reading a handheld book is still alive in Bundaberg!”
A Diverse Collection for Every Reader
The book sale will feature an extensive range of literary offerings, including picture books, teen novels, magazines, both fiction and non-fiction titles, puzzles, and even DVDs – all available at incredibly low prices, starting as low as 50 cents. This diverse collection is the result of generous donations from community members and Bundaberg Regional Libraries, ensuring that there is something for everyone.
“The books on sale are a mixture of ex-library stock and donations from the public,” explains Sarah. “Items start from the low price of 50 cents, with more popular or newer books being priced higher. This is a fantastic opportunity for bookworms to discover their next favorite read.”
Promoting Literacy and Community Engagement
The Bundaberg Central Rotary Club’s book sale is more than just a shopping event; it is a celebration of literacy and community engagement. As one of Rotary’s areas of focus, promoting literacy is at the heart of this initiative.
“Bundaberg Regional Council is delighted to continue its longstanding support for the annual book sale, which is a fantastic community event that promotes literacy and a love for reading,” says Councillor John Learmonth, the Arts, Heritage and Asset Management portfolio spokesperson for Bundaberg Regional Council.
The donation of resources from Bundaberg Regional Libraries not only supports the local organization but also gives the much-loved books a second chance at life in the community. This collaboration between the Rotary Club and the library system ensures that the book sale is a truly community-driven event.
