Donations: If you have some surplus
books, in reasonable (sale-able) condition, do
consider donating them to the FoBL RedB4 Bookshop.
Collection by our volunteers can be arranged.
We cannot accept en cyclopaedias (due to very little
demand).
All funds raised are used to assist Benalla Library
(aka the Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop Learning Centre.)
Volunteers: Would
you enjoy to spend some time in a bookshop? Staff to
work in the REDb4 bookshop are always welcome.
History: For many years the
Friends of the Benalla Library have raised funds
selling books; decommissioned books from the High
Country Library, and donations of pre-loved books from
the Benalla Community. These books were lugged from
market to market by long-suffering volunteers.
After research from of a hard working subcommittee,
the book shop was opened in Bridge Street on October
21st 2013. The shop is staffed by volunteers, and
operates 6 days per week.
