Curl up with a good book and help save the planet at the Monster Book Fair

On these cold and often wet weekends, there is nothing better than curling up in front of the fire with a good book. But who knew you can be a Super Hero by doing just that?
This August sees the return of The Rotary Club of Geelong West’s major annual fundraiser, the Monster Book Fair.
Having been a large success in previous years, so far the annual book fair has raised tens of thousands of dollars that have been channelled back through the Club’s supported projects such as Barwon Health Patient Transport, Samaritan House, Operation Newstart, Christ Church Meals Program, Geelong Kokoda Youth Program and Interplast, not to mention all of the many smaller charitable programs that apply to the Club for grants each year. Supporting those who need it most, you’re doing your bit to change the world just by picking up some great books at the Monster Book Fair.
Who thought you could achieve so much sitting down!?
If the cheap prices and social benefits are not wonderful enough, there is also the added bonus of book fairs being environmentally friendly. Purchasing books at the Rotary Club of Geelong West’s Monster Book Fair helps to recycle books and prevents them from being sent to landfill, helping reduce waste and thus benefiting the environment. Win, Win, Win! Whether it is a novel, cookbook, biography or children’s book, buying a book here will not only give you hours and hours of great reading, it will ensure that these books are being recycled in an efficient and effective way.
With thousands of books on offer across almost all possible genres, there is bound to be something to impress even the most demanding of readers. With entry at just a gold coin donation, and books for ridiculously cheap prices ($1 for paperbacks and children’s books, or $2 for hardcovers), it’s definitely worth checking it out.
It all goes down at the Geelong West Town Hall from Friday August 3 to Sunday August 5 from 9am.
