Monster Book Sale & Market Days

Monster Book Sale is a weeklong event beginning on the public holiday in May in which we release thousands upon thousands of books of every kind – far, far more stock than we normally house in the shop! An event not to be missed!

On several occasions during the year, we host Market Days that may include plants, jams, baked goods and sizzling sausages! In 2025, these dates are​​

  • Ekka Show Day Wednesday, August 13, 9am-1pm

  • King’s Birthday Holiday Monday, October 6, 9am-1pm

Keep an eye on our website, facebook page and electronic sign on Moggill Road for upcoming events!

Donations

We are grateful for the generosity of community who continue to support Second Harvest with the donation of well-loved books.

Donations can be left on the bench outside the Anglican Church office at 1036 Moggil Road.

Volunteer!

Volunteers are always needed in the shop – do think about joining the team : no heavy lifting and we always stop for morning tea!
