Book Sale Hastings Library

The Friends of the Library organise Book Sales several times a year.

“The process of withdrawing stock is vital and requires a level of expertise,” says Paula Murdoch, District Libraries Manager, ”Ideally we need to ‘weed’ each collection annually to ensure they are up-to-date and we have room for all the new stock that our communities love to borrow.”

Selling these discarded items is one of the many ways the Friends of the Library support your libraries

Bring a carry bag and pick up some great bargains! Books 50c and Mags 10c unless marked otherwise.
