The Friends of the University of Newcastle are calling on the community to clean out their bookshelves in preparation for the 2023 book fair.
After a two-year COVID-induced hiatus, they are hoping the book fair will return mid-next year.
The Friends are accepting donations of books, CDs, records, DVDs and magazines on Tuesdays between 9am and midday, in the Bowman building at Callaghan Campus.
Book Fair Convenor Lesley Gent, said any donations from the community will be greatly appreciated.
"We sort them into categories," she said. "We have 50 categories and we take everything you can think of."
"We have 28 volunteers who come and sort and pack every week and they haven't been able to do anything for two years so they're very excited."
Ms Gent also said funds raised from the sales are used to support students across a range of disciplines at the University of Newcastle.
"We have 10 student scholarships and all the money goes to that. We are all volunteers so we don't get paid. All the money we make goes to scholarships."
Further information including the location of the Bowman Building can be found on the Friends of the University of Newcastle website.
