Bookfest is back in Ipswich!
Attention booklovers! We are once again throwing open the doors of our Lifeline Ipswich warehouse for the massive Lifeline Bookfest Ipswich. We’ll have anything and everything available in the world of second-hand books starting at $2, plus records, CDs, DVDs and computer and console games.
And it’s all for a good cause – funds raised go towards our 13 11 14 Lifeline Crisis Support Line. By purchasing books at Lifeline Bookfest Ipswich, you are helping us to save lives, and we can’t thank you enough.
