Funds raised from the book fair helps Lifeline Canberra to keep the crisis telephone service operating in the local area.

Lifeline spokeswoman Alanah MacMahon said the tables would be restocked after hours so there was something new for each day.

The next Lifeline book fair will be in June in Tuggeranong.
