Graham Russell, Vicky Donoghue and Rotary Club of Wagga volunteers ready of annual book fair fundraiser

As the Rotary Club of Wagga's biggest fundraising event of the year, Kyeamba Smith Hall has been packed to the brim with every style and genre, with visitors able to fill a bag with whatever books they like for only $50.

Mr Russell, who has been the coordinator of the book fair for around five years, said he is proud to contribute to such a worthwhile cause.

"We work as a catalyst because the books come from the community and the money we get for them goes back to the community," he said.

He added that the best thing about this year's fair is the children's section which admin director Vicky Donoghue has been working tirelessly to organise.

"We have so much junior fiction ready for young readers, it's fabulous," she said.

Ms Donoghue remembers visiting the book fair well before she began volunteering to help four years ago and continues to be amazed by the quality and quantity of donations they receive.

"We have got the widest collection of genuine fiction reading material that you will find anywhere in one place in Wagga, ever," she said.

Open: Saturday 8am-4pm and Sunday 9am - 3pm.
