It's almost Book Fair time again! Over the summer our dedicated volunteers have been busily preparing for Lifeline Northern Beaches next Book Fair at Warriewood. Put the dates in your diary. What a great way to start the New Year!

Book Fair, St Augustine's College

We have the most wonderful volunteers. Thank you to everyone involved. We definitely could not hold book fairs without the dedicated individuals who pack the book boxes, load and unpack trucks of books, set up tables, display the books, replenish the stock and work at the payment counters. Others at the end of the fair pack everything away. A huge task. Many many thanks to you all!

A donated book was recently sold by Lifeline North Beaches "collectables" volunteer Barbara to the National Library of New Zealand. What a win win situation! The National Library of New Zealand was able to support Lifeline's great work here on the Northern Beaches of Sydney while across the Tasman a 19th century book on sheep breeds and management becomes part of New Zealand's historic collection.
