Lifeline Book and Gift Fair

Books galore and gifts to explore! We’re pleased to announce the first Lifeline Book and Gift Fair.
The new Lifeline Book and Gift Fair will combine our love of second-hand books, with hundreds of reasonably priced, brand new gifts. Every purchase helps fund Lifeline’s suicide prevention services in Queensland.

Be COVID-safe.
Check-in with the Queensland Government’s Check-in Qld app on arrival, and all sales will be card-only (no cash). As always, wear a mask, stay home if unwell and clean your hands often with soap and water or sanitiser.
