July 2009 saw the first ever Oxfam Bookfest – a fortnight packed with book events in Oxfam shops all over the country. It was so successful — with over 350 events, a 40% rise in book donations and hundreds of thousands of pounds of poverty-busting sales — that we are doing it again in 2010. We're adding even more events, and selling even more books to make even more money to fund our work.This year the book-based fun will go far and wide, with activities, events and displays across hundreds of Oxfam shops, libraries, community centres and other venues around the country. From Inverness to Plymouth, Camarthen to Cambridge, Oxfam shops will host a myriad of book events, competitions, auctions and local family fun, celebrating all that the charity does with books.
