Ipswich Bookfest
Ipswich Bookfesters, thank you so much! You — and your love of books — have raised more than $70,000 to help fund the 24-hour Lifeline 13 11 14 Crisis Support Line. Stay tuned for next year’s Bookfest.
Lifeline Bookfest Ipswich 2018 saw around 300 tables stocked to the brim with over 80 tonnes of hardcovers and paperbacks of all genres, styles and authors.
In fact, there were more than 20 categories of books, including children’s books, paperbacks, hardbacks, cooking, hobbies and more. There was also a large selection of comics, records, CDs, DVDs and games.
