Friends of the Library Book Bash

On the Friday, the book sale will run from 9am till 4pm, and on the Saturday, from 8.30am till noon.

Fiction, non-fiction and children’s books will be available on both days.

The friends sell only books in good condition, and at the upcoming sale they will have a R5 table, with books that are a little older or duplicates.

“For 10 years, Friends of the Benoni Library have been supporting the library and have put thousands of books on the shelves,” said Ann Smith, chairwoman of the group.

“All donated books are first vetted by the librarian, to see if they have a place in the library, and the excess is sold at our popular book bashes.”

Smith added that the group needs the public’s support, as the number of people at the sales has been diminishing, and that means fewer books for the library and less to give to charities and to schools.

“Please come along, and bring a friend to browse with you,” she concluded.
