The Rotary Club of Wauchope Monster Book Sale was held in October 2020 at the Wauchope Showground Hall, High Street, Wauchope.

Unfortunately, just days before the Book Sale commenced, it was discovered that the stored books had disappeared from the storage facility.

Our first thought was to cancel the Book Sale. 2020 was already the 'year of cancellations', so what was one more? However, through the generosity of other Rotary Clubs, community groups and individuals, we made the decision to go ahead albeit with reduced hours. Not only did the community donate books for sale, they also came in droves to buy books. The support was overwhelming and much appreciated.

All the funds raised from the Book Sale are donated back into the local community. Proceeds from past Book Sales have been directed towards seating in the very well used off leash dog park, riverside walk bench covers, supporting local schools and drought relief. Our annual Book Sale is a wonderful opportunity to grab a great book, support some fabulous charity work and demonstrate your commitment to recycling. Remember to keep your 'nearly new' books ready for next year's sale.
