Lifeline
Canberra Bookfairs
A major portion of the funding required to keep our telephone
counselling lines available to the community comes from the sale
of donated books (plus magazines, games, records, tapes, comics,
maps, CDs, DVDs, jigsaws, calendars) at our bookfairs in autumn
and spring each year.
Below is a table showing details about a typical
Bookfair. Further information about the collections

Donating Books
Each year the Lifeline Canberra Bookfair recycles up to 1 million
books - many to our bookfairs, many to other charities, and many to paper recycling. Your
continuing donations keep us going. Thank you.
If possible, please drop them off at our warehouse at 66 Heffernan St, Mitchell.
The best time is any Saturday afternoon when there will be volunteers available
to help you unload. Alternatively, you can take them to the Queanbeyan library,
or call the Lifeline Canberra office on 62470655
to get other possible drop-off points or to arrange for them to be picked up
at a time convenient to you.
