Jorja Grant, 9, and Joshua Grant, 5, check out the books on offer at the annual Wairarapa Hear Foundation book sale.
The annual Heart Foundation book sale is being held in Masterton Town Hall this long weekend.
Co-ordinator Sandra Debney said there were about 40,000 books set aside to be sold over the three-day weekend.
About 12 to 15 volunteers sort through the books each week as they arrive via a
Masterton businesshouse.
"Our oldest [volunteer] is 91," Mrs Debney said.
The sale benefits from free Eftpos provision and transport by Cross-Country Rentals, among other sponsors.
