The much anticipated annual Rotary Club of Wanaka Book Sale, comprising thousands of second hand books, is on this weekend from Friday 2 October to Sunday 4 October.

The book sale has traditionally seen hundreds of people flock to the Lake Wanaka Centre in search of a great read at a bargain price. Rotary Club of Wanaka president Mike Elliot said the public response to donating books has been bigger than ever this year. 

“We have thousands of books, the storage we arranged is at capacity and books have been coming in consistently since we advertised for donations,” Mike said.

The books have been categorised to make browsing easy, and a coloured sticker indicates the price for each book. 

“It’s a big job to categorise and price but well worth it when we see the response and the funds we can raise for the community,” Mike said.

The book sale will take place over three days at the Lake Wanaka Centre. Hours for Friday 2nd October and Saturday 3rd October are 10am-6pm and for Sunday 4 October 10am-2pm.
