Biggest ever book sale at Kempsey Library

When preparations were being made for the installation of the library’s self-checking technology, a large number of books, which had not been recently borrowed, were withdrawn from the shelves and are now being offered for sale at bargain prices at the biggest ever book sale. The sale will start 10am Wednesday 26 October and run until library closing time, 1pm on Saturday 29 October. Come and meet members of the Friends of the Library Kempsey (FOLK) who will be running the sale. Proceeds will support reading activities in the shire.
