The popular event is held twice a year - during March and August - and provides the perfect opportunity for book lovers to grab some fantastic bargains while supporting some worthy causes.
There will be thousands of books available, including children's books, fiction, and non-fiction, with donations coming in from people across the region, as well as the Geelong Regional Library Corporation. At last year's fair, 15,000 books were sold, raising a total of $22,500 for Rotary projects.
