Off the back of one of Bookfestā€™s most successful chapters ever, we want to extend our sincere thanks to the sponsors who helped bring this story to life.

Alfred E Chave, Data #3, NAK Hair, Black & White Cabs, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, with your incredible support, we didnā€™t just deliver an eventā€”we helped write a powerful story of connection, generosity and community, all while helping fund Lifelineā€™s essential crisis support services.

As we look ahead to the next edition, we want to thank you for being such an important part of the Bookfest story.

And just like thatā€¦ weā€™ve turned the final page on another incredible chapter of Bookfest šŸ“šāœØ

To everyone who made this story possible ā€” our tireless volunteers, dedicated organisers, generous sponsors, passionate guest speakers, enthusiastic book lovers, and every single person who walked through the doors, made a purchase, or helped spread the word ā€” thank you šŸ™šŸ¼ You made this chapter what it was.

While the doors may be closed for now, the impact will last long after the final crate is packed away. Every page turned and every bag filled has helped ensure crisis support is there when itā€™s needed most.

Until the story continues in January, thank you for being part of something truly special šŸ’™

One common question we get about Bookfest is whether we accept book donations at the event.

The answer is a big YES! There are large crates inside each hall entrance for you to drop off your pre-loved books and make way for all the new ones. šŸ”„

We are incredibly thankful for all your wonderful donations. šŸ™šŸ» Theyā€™re an essential part of what makes Bookfest so great.
