Lifeline Canberra Bookfairs
These Bookfairs raise a major portion of the funding needed to keep the Lifeline Canberra telephone counselling lines available to the community.
Our main Spring and Autumn Bookfairs offer around 200,000 donated items for sale. We have a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books, including rare books and collectables, children's books and foreign language books. You'll also find magazines and pamphlets, comics, maps and atlases, talking books, records and CDs, DVDs, games and jigsaws.
Entry to the Lifeline Canberra Bookfairs is by gold coin donation. You can pay for your purchases with cash, cheque, credit card (Mastercard or Visa) or EFTPOS.
