Volunteer today

Each event, over 400 volunteers help to make the Lifeline Bookfest happen, covering roles from sorting and pricing to packing and operating the registers. With over 2 million books for sale in 2009, let’s band together, raise funds for Lifeline and help defend the planet from a couple of knowledge-thirsty aliens!

To volunteer call Anastasia on 3250 1927 or e-mail our volunteer [at] lccq [dot] org [dot] au (Volunteeer Management Team).

Donate Books

We wouldn’t have a Bookfest if it wasn’t for all the generous folk in Brisbane willing to share their knowledge! It is your generosity that makes the Lifeline Bookfest such a success.

Lifeline Brisbane receives donations of books all year round. They flood in through the blue Lifeline donation bins that are scattered across Brisbane.

If you would like to donate books to the Lifeline Bookfest, you can take them to your nearest Lifeline bin or Lifeline shop.

Lifeline also offers a free pick up service for large donations, including donations of books. If you would like to clean out your shelves and help keep the Bookfest cycle going, call Lifeline to arrange a pick-up on 3632 1010 or alternatively call 3632 1000 to find your nearest Lifeline bin.

Shop all year

Why wait until the Bookfest to pick up a bargain? Lifeline has around 50 shops in and around Brisbane that specialise in clothes, furniture, collectables, high-quality products - even books!

So don’t wait for the next Bookfest to roll around, pop into a Lifeline Shop and pick up what you need at a great price.

Lifeline stores are scattered all around Brisbane, so there’s one close to you. Check out our Lifeline Shops page to find out where you’ll be buying your next bargain.
