Schedule

All proceeds go to Victoria University Library.

Volunteers have processed thousands of books and tons of music… cd’s, vinyl, sheet music and song books for the annual Vic Book Sale. Generous book donors have already donated a wide variety of titles in all areas of interest to entice book buyers to this wonderful event.

Check out last year's recap on our blog and what we have planned for the book sale this year!
