If you’re looking for something to do after work or to unwind during your weekend downtime, have you tried checking out the activities at the Annerley Community Bookshop on Ipswich Road?
This community store with large comfy couches and wooden floors is not just known for the varied book selection that it sells. Every month, the Annerley Community Bookshop also hosts different events, meetings, and discussions for hobbyists and enthusiasts.
This February alone, the Annerley Community Bookshop will have its International Language Exchange (16 Feb), Green’s Discussion (18 Feb), Bookshop Committee Meeting (19 Feb) and Junction Yarn Jammers meet (20 Feb).
The bookshop also holds its monthly book club meets every second Mondays of the month at 7:00 p.m. There are currently 675 members of the Annerley Community Bookshop Monthly Book Club.

The site is also a favourite venue for fundraising activities to support literacy programs in the community. This is the only not-for-profit bookshop in Australia managed by over 40 volunteers.
If you’d actually like to help manage the bookstore, you may also volunteer to be a member of the staff by contacting the manager or visiting the site.
But if you’re just looking for a good book to read, the community bookshop has a wide selection of second-hand books. From non-fiction to fiction, or sci-fi, romance, political thrillers, history and women’s studies — you’ll find a lot of great literature from the library.

The Annerley Community Bookshop opens from Mondays to Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. On Sundays, the shop is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
