Pearl Beach book fair in its 40th year

The annual Pearl Beach Book Fair will be held at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall on Easter Saturday by the Pearl Beach Progress Association.

The fair, now in its 40th year, is the largest single fundraising activity undertaken by the association with proceeds going towards repairs to the Memorial Hall.

Association president Mr Ross Christie said the association was delighted this long standing tradition was still going strong in 2016.

He said the fair would boast an extensive collection of books for both the serious reader and the holiday novelists.

"With nearly every book priced at $2, the fair represents a great opportunity to stock the shelves," he said.

Book fair co-coordinator Ms Victoria Crawford said this year's fair would introduce the new residents' recommendation table, as well as old favourites like educational, gardening, cooking, art, travel, children's and adult fiction and literature.

"We are extremely grateful for these wonderful book donations and believe that the fair is an additional attraction for Pearl Beach," Ms Crawford said.

The fair will once again feature traditional homemade cakes and jams stalls and the fundraising raffle.
