Found on the Darebin Libraries website..



Find a bargain at a Darebin Libraries second hand book sale.
Prices range from 50c to $1

Saturday 9 August - 10am - 3pm

Reservoir Scout Hall (Edwards Lake Park)
Leamington St, Reservoir 3073

Don't assume they only get rid of the bad books, some of my favourite books (Solomon the Rusty Nail for example) have been picked up from these sales.

I remember the last City Library sale I went to - it was crazy.

I *man* the city library booksales :P

Yes, they're crazy (for the first two hours...) I keep wondering if it would be ethical to throw in a five buck cover charge (just to pay for my osteopathic healing afterward, mind you)

;)

That would actually be cool, like if the $5 covercharge for getting in meant you got to pick one book under $5 for free, but the charge itself went to a nominated charity (even if the charity was masseuse-for-library-workers haha)

I used to go to this regularly and it's well worth it. Turn up early and bring a shopping hopper.

Thank-you! I always find out about these after they're over, and then I kick my shins. Not this time though. My shins shall be safe!

I am sooo screwed hahah my last book sale I went to was in Castlemaine (not really a library sale but a shop there was having a big discounted sale) and that was in January and I've just finished the last one!

I'm waiting for the city library one, it should be excellent, as I don't like to buy new books...I prefer the ones that are beaten in and well loved.
