Garage Trail Sale: The Great Book Swap at Sandy Library

Join us at Sandringham Library for our first-ever Great Book Swap. Let's raise money for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation by bringing along any books you have that are in as-new condition. If you would like to take a book or two, please bring along some gold coins, as each book you swap will cost you a gold coin.

Some of the books will be donated by library staff from their personal collections and may even be signed by the authors...

This is only one afternoon, and any leftover books will be donated to charity. Books for all ages are welcome, but please remember, they need to be in as-new condition.

Garage Sale Trail is Australia's biggest secondhand treasure hunt, with over 3 million pre-loved items sold over two big weekends.

In 2023, over 400,000 Australians shopped or sold at more than 14,000 garage sales across the nation. Together, they extended the life of over 3 million kgs of stuff, saving these items from landfill and maximising the value of all the energy and resources that goes into making the stuff we buy. It's the circular economy in action, and it's making a real difference.
