Story

We'll be open for Fringey-Fest Sundays 11am-3pm: Feb 18 & 25th, & March 11th. Come and say hello!
*2018 CLIPSAL CAR RACE CLOSURE - Due to road closures around the Bookshop during the set-up and running of the Clipsal Race, the Bookshop will be closed from Wednesday 28th February up to and including Monday 5th March* We will be open again from Tuesday 6th March. We are also open Tuesday 27th of February.
It is obviously frustrating to lose a whole week of trading and we hope our forced temporary closure will not significantly impact your own plans. Remember our huge, not-to-be-missed $1 book sale along the sidewalk outside the shop is on again on Saturday March 17th!!!!

The Oxfam Second Hand Bookshop welcomes booklovers and readers to browse over 20,000 shelved books on Tuesdays to Saturdays 9-5pm. We have a huge range of shelved fiction and non-fiction titles at very affordable prices.

We welcome book donations during our business hours. Please contact the Bookshop on (08) 8236 2150 if you have any queries.

If you are interested in volunteering at the bookshop - either in the Bookshop or behind the scenes with books or events please drop by the Bookshop to pick up a Volunteer application form or email [email protected] There are various roles which may suit your interests and/or availability.

Whether you have five minutes or an hour to spare, looking for new reading material or simply need a last minute present, drop by the shop, say hello and discover the treasure trove within. But be warned, you will be hooked by the bargains!

All stock is excellent quality at low prices. And with a high turnover rate, the choice of books is being constantly refreshed with new titles from vintage editions to recent releases.

We offer a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles which can be explored by category from Biography to Travel, Children's to Foreign Language, and Computing to Politics; to name only a few.

It is fully run by a committed and friendly team of volunteers with book sale proceeds supporting Oxfam Australia in fighting worldwide hunger, poverty and social injustice.

The bookshop also stocks a selection of good quality textbooks for secondary and tertiary students, as well as an eclectic collection of vinyl records.

We welcome donations of books. There is a temporary loading zone immediately in front of the bookshop which can be used to deliver your book donations if needed.

We hope to see you soon! Just remember you will likely leave with far more than you imagined for far less than you thought possible.
