Book lovers, including local customer Jen Doolan, flocked to the fair to support the cause.

“I’ve bought 10 books, but Tomorrow the World by Josephine Cox is my favourite one,” she said.

“It’s a great place to buy recycled books at a great price, and the money goes to a very worthy cause.”

Chaplain Yolande Grosser praised the effort and support behind the event.

“There was a terrific Rotary East turnout to help us pack up, with all the unsold children’s books going home with them for needy kids,” she said.

“Wastebusters again supported us with our recycling, and the energy from Horsham College students was next level!”

The Chaplaincy Committee thanked all supporters, volunteers and donors who helped make the fundraiser a success.
