Travel etc.

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.
