Book Fair Items
Donations are always needed and welcome!
Please read the information below – particularly our guidelines for what we can and cannot accept. Then, if you have any further queries about donations, please call (02) 9498 8805 or email us at admin@lifelineh2h.org.au
Our quality standards
Because we pride ourselves on the good quality and condition of books at our sales, we can only accept good-condition items.
Except for rare, valuable, children’s classics, or antiquarian books, we are looking for donations of books which are in good condition. If they are yellowed, mouldy, torn, dirty, written in, defaced, have pages stuck together, or are in any other way significantly damaged, please recycle them rather than go to the trouble of bringing them to us.
If possible, if you have more than a few books, please place them in a smaller size cardboard box or shopping bag which is able to be easily carried.
If you have any enquiries about donations, please call (02) 9498 8805 or email us at admin@lifelineh2h.org.au
