The Chronicle Lifeline Bookfest 2022

The Chronicle Lifeline Bookfest is just around the corner with the charity once again delighted to be able to host their major fundraiser. This year’s massive book sale will be held on Saturday 5th March and Sunday 6th March at the Founders Pavilion, Toowoomba Showgrounds.

It is through the generous donations of books, games and toys from the community that we are able to put on such a fantastic sale every year. The Chronicle Lifeline Bookfest is a crucial fundraising event for our organisation with all proceeds staying in our local area to fund our crisis support and suicide prevention services,” the new Chief Executive Officer of Lifeline Darling Downs said.

“I am looking forward to seeing this event now in its 42nd year come to fruition. We rely heavily on the funds raised to ensure we can continue to support those who need it most,”  Lifeline Darling Downs CEO, Grant Simpson said.There will be thousands of donated books on sale with nothing over $5 and many a lot less. There will also be plenty of toys, DVDs and games. Doors open on Saturday 8am- 5pm and Sunday 8am – 2pm at the Toowoomba Showgrounds, Glenvale Rd.

With free admission, free parking and Eftpos available, this is the perfect time to stock up on your winter reading material. Patrons are advised that the current government guidelines for entry into the Founders Pavilion is that you must use the Check-in Qld App and be double vaccinated.
