A treat awaits book lovers, with the opening of the St John book sale tonight.
Coordinator Jenny Burkett said the books would number in the thousands. There are also CDs, records and puzzles.
They range in price from 50 cents for three books, to $10.
The book sale is a
fundraiser for St John, with all the money going back into the local community.
"The money goes towards our community programmes, particularly the health shuttle and youth programmes. Sometimes it could be used for a special project like building maintenance. We get no funding for this sort of thing."
