Rotary Geelong West Book Fair is Back in 2021

Posted on May 18, 2021

After the success of our February Book Fair this year, we are pleased to announce dates for our next Book Fair, being 6-8 August 2021 at Geelong West Town Hall!

Obviously, these dates are subject to any change due to COVID regulations, however we remain positive and look forward to bringing this event back to the community, once again. Our members have continued to sort through books from all genres, which will be available at incredible prices - $1 for paperbacks and children's books; $2 for hardcovers. Each Book Fair contributes to the major fundraising for the Rotary Club of Geelong West, and so far has raised over $120,000 that has been channelled back through our Rotary Club’s supported projects such as Barwon Health Patient Transport, Samaritan House, Operation Newstart, Christ Church Meals Program, Geelong Mums, Geelong Kokoda Youth Program and Interplast, not to mention all of the many smaller charitable programs that have been assisted by Rotary Club grants each year.
