Lifeline Bookfest
Never has stocking up on your favourite entertainment material been so easy and so cheap!
Overview
Books, books, books are a many splendid thing, books lift you up where you belong, all you need are books - but also maybe board games, magazines, CDs and DVDs. So it's pretty convenient that the 2012 Lifeline Bookfest will have all of these items in abundance and it’s happening next week. Never has stocking up on your favourite entertainment material been so easy and so cheap.
Held annually at the Brisbane Convention Centre, the mammoth room will, as usual, be at capacity: full of tables piled high with the aforementioned books and other enlightening paraphernalia. You’re able to bring whatever carrier you so desire, but I highly suggest you go with some sturdy bags and/or boxes. Prices begin at 20 cents (hello, bargain!) and go up to a shocking $10, so really a lack of money is not an excuse. Also, the variety of materials they have there is astonishing, making it a 99.999% surety you will walk out with something you like.
As with all of their events, the proceeds go to Lifeline’s counselling services, so as well as getting a bargain and increasing your cultural capacity, you’re doing your good deed for the day. Trifecta!
