Read, for animals’ sake
SPCA marketing June as ‘Book Bonanza Month’ at the quaint little store most residents might not know about.
Your love of reading could actually aid an animal in need, if you buy your books at the right place.
That is the Roodepoort SPCA charity book store on Nadine Street. The animal welfare organisation is marketing June as ‘Book Bonanza Month’ at the quaint little store most residents might not know about.
Resident Sue van der Walt recently complimented the shop, telling the Record “it was previously a bit disorganised as most second-hand book shops go”.
“Now, however, current shop manager Joss Jackson has turned it into book heaven and I regularly get lost between the shelves, marveling at the wide selection.”
Residents are invited to visit the store from 1 June to mull over the huge selection of books and purchase them from as little as R1, R5 or R10 per item.
Money spent at the charity bookstore goes directly to feeding and caring for the animals in SPCA care.
The branch will also have a stall at Clearwater Mall on 30 and 31 May as well as 6 and 7 June in the Piazza area where they will sell dog-shaped balloons.
