Bookarama 2021 is almost here! Preparation is already well underway with Rotarians and volunteers collecting and sorting hundreds of books which the wider community have generously donated.
If you still need to make room on your book case for your new Bookarama bargains you still have time to donate your books, including during the event itself.
