    "Each year we see a great amount of interest as hundreds of people pour into the centre and browse books for all ages and interests," she said.

    "This is a chance to buy a range of material that has outlived its purpose in the library’s collection, with thousands of books, magazines, DVDs and CDs up for grabs for incredible deals."

    Sale prices start at $1 for young adults’ and children’s books and $3 for most adults’ books, DVDs, CDs, and other audio-visual items.

    The sale is on until 7pm tonight, and 9am- 4pm Saturday.
