This sale marks the 10 year anniversary of this community book store.
“Book lovers will have the opportunity to fill an entire shopping bag for $5 from a wide range of books," the coordinator, Michelle Lopert said.
“Bargain hunters will have a field day filling their bags and, as always, we have a big selection.
“Since bargain-hunting is exhausting, we’ll be serving cappuccinos and Devonshire Tea at the Kendall meeting place. We have a barista on hand.
“If you haven’t visited the Bookends store, you don’t know what you’re missing. We’re located next to the Kendall Hall, higher up the hill. It was once the old Batar School.
“The quaint little bookstore was established in 2007 with a few boxes of donated books and a couple of tables. Then it received a total make-over with a Kendall Op Shop grant.
“It’s now a thriving bookshop and book exchange, plus we have a monthly book club.
“Bookends is a community venture that is run entirely by volunteers and relies on book donations,” Ms Lopert said.
“Book prices are purposely kept low to foster a healthy turnover of books.
“We’re a non-profit organisation and one of our aims is to encourage reading and literacy. All the money we make goes back into the community centre.”
So mark Saturday on your calendar, pop over to Kendall and make a day of it. There’s plenty of arts and crafts stores in Kendall and a cozy cafe.
“What better way to get through winter than nestled up to the fire with a bag of books. And they don’t come any cheaper.”
