VISITORS to Whitley last week are certainly well read – and they know how to get a bargain too.

A monthly book fair takes place at the Reading Scout and Guide Hut HQ in Northcourt Avenue.

A selection of second-hand books suitable for all ages, with page turners, reference works and gripping reads all available to bargain hunters.

It is organised by members of the 9th Reading Guides, and held on the third Saturday of the month, with the most recent being held on the weekend just gone.

Bookworms turned out in droves, ready to snap up some new tomes to tackle, raising £100 for charity in the process.

And it’s more than just a book sale, as the event includes refreshments.
