Festival book donation drive

We will be holding a book drive during the festival weekend on April 2 and 3 to help flood-affected libraries in northern NSW rebuild their collections. Please drop off your new or near-new books at the information table in Wheeler Place, adjacent to the Civic Theatre, from 9.30am to 4.00pm. We will ensure your books are packed and sent to Lismore.

This is what’s needed:
  • Adult fiction
  • Adult and junior nonfiction, including books on parenting topics
  • Junior and Young Adult fiction
  • Children’s picture books
  • Children’s DVDs
  • Jigsaws (no missing pieces
  • Audio books

Also consider buying and donating a new book from our festival bookshop, which is managed by MacLean’s Booksellers and located on the lower ground floor of Newcastle City Hall.

If you are unable to drop off your books during the festival, consider mailing them to:
