Early start, 26 June & 27 June, opening at 8 am

WHAT’S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR?
To keep you safe, Bookfest will be more spread out across three halls (that means no $1 section this year).
Numbers in the halls will be restricted, but don’t worry, we have 18 months’ worth of books to share and we’ll be restocking (补充货源) daily, so you won’t miss out. Once we reach capacity in the halls, it will be one in, one out.
Sales will be card-only. Sorry for kids who were used to spending their saved cash on their favorite books in the past few years.
PRICES
At Bookfest you’ll find a $2.5 section and a High-Quality section. Books in the High-Quality section range from $4 to $25, and our Rare and Collectible books are individually priced.
LAST WORD
You can hire a trolley (推车) at the event to do your shopping ($2 trolley hire).
You can donate new, used or unwanted books. Baskets will be available at the event (next to the entrance) for book donations.
