The Rotary Club of Murrumburrah-Harden Book Nook is opening on Thursday October 30 and is calling for volunteers to help run the fantastic initiative.
The Book Nook is a second-hand bookshop that is not for profit with any income made by the store being distributed by Rotary to local activities and organisations.
The Book Nook will be opened at the Old Tennis Court Clubhouse on Albury Street in Harden and will operate three days a week on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 10am and 4pm.
Volunteers are needed to meet and host visitors, guide them through what's available, chat and share a cup of tea or coffee, have fun, record sales in a simple process without complicated computers or electronics.
Shift days and times can be on a weekly, fortnightly, third weekly, monthly or casual basis between 10am and 1pm or 1pm to 4pm on the Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
