BOOKWORMS will be hard pressed to find better value for money than next month’s Pater Noster Parish Church monster book sale, with a huge range of titles on offer for $3 and under.

Pater Noster parishioner Margaret Cabassi said she expected between 20,000 and 30,000 books would be available during the sale, which takes place June 17 and 18 at the Myaree church.

“We’ve been collecting and sorting books since late February,” she said.

“There’s a huge range of pre-loved books; a lot of people are mad on romance and biographies but we also have a big children’s section and everything else from classic novels to health and business books.”

All of the money raised on the day goes towards the Pater Noster Parish Church.

Anybody that would like to donate their own old books can contact Margaret on 9330 3848 or by emailing peg.cabassi@bigpond.com.
