MOUNTAINS OF BOOKS FOR SALE

Rotary Noosa Daybreak on again in May

Over 3 days from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th May 2024, 9am to 5pm every day, books will be on sale at the Noosa Leisure Centre in Wallace Drive, Noosaville (next to Noosa Library).

There will be tens of thousands for purchase and the proceeds will be dedicated to local projects including the homeless.
As a Rotary Noosa Daybreak Past President said: “Bookfest Noosa is an annual event that the Club runs to raise funds to support projects in the local region. This year we will focus on continuing our work with the homeless in the Noosa Shire and nearby surrounds.”

Previously, funds raised from Bookfest have supported new treatments for suicidality, facilities for Noosa Coastguard, support for the local programs for the Salvation Army and research into treatments for Prostate Cancer. Local organisations supported by Bookfest include:

• Sunshine Butterflies
• Hear and Say Centre
• Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club
• Childhood Cancer Support
• Noosa Hospital
• Sunshine Coast Rescue Helicopter
• University of the Sunshine Coast
• and, a number of organizations providing support for youth in the Noosa region.

Support for flood relief has been a priority in recent years and significant contributions have been made to individuals and organisations affected by the floods in the Noosa Shire. Mental health awareness and treatment has also been supported directly and in partnership with other Rotary Clubs and The University of the Sunshine Coast Thompson Institute.

Funds raised by the strong local support for Bookfest have through these partnerships encouraged many of the partners to contribute additional funds to support the local community. In the words of the Past President: “I encourage all keen local readers and those that love their books to come along to Bookfest Noosa to buy from the huge range of books available on every conceivable topic. All books have been thoroughly sorted and only the best quality books will be offered for sale at $3 each. Childrens books will be sold at $1”
