Bumper Book Sale back with a bang

This weekend, 5–6 October book lovers should set aside the weekend for one of Johannesburg’s biggest and most beloved bumper book sales hosted by the Friends of the Johannesburg Public Libraries, in collaboration with the Library and Information Services of the City. 

The sale will be held in Braamfontein at the City of Johannesburg’s Library and Information Services offices,  22 Solomon Street, corner Smit Street.

MMC for Community Development, Nonhlanhla Sifumba said, “The sale is widely known for its massive bargains and diverse selection of books, affording everyone the opportunity to find something suitable. On sale will be art, fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, Afrikaans, and Africana. Hundreds of second-hand books will be on sale, all ranging between R10 and R20. There will also be Africana individually priced from R20 to R200.”

Chair of the Friends of the Johannesburg Public Libraries, Zara Natalie agreed with the MMC that this event should be marked in your diary. “The Johannesburg Library Bumper Book Sale has become a noteworthy annual event. The fact that it runs over two days allows people to shop without the pressure of losing out. We have seen people from all walks of life benefit from our previous sales.”

Doors open at 9am and close at 4.30pm on both days, light refreshments will also be sold.
