Tens of thousands of books were donated to Rotary Noosa Daybreak and sold over the weekend at the club’s annual book fest.

Spokesman Richard Marsh said money from the event which generally raises upwards of $30,000 would be put toward a scholarship for University of Sunshine Coast PhD student Grace Forsyth for her research into the use of oral ketamine to treat people with PTSD.

With the event unable to be held in 2020 book donations built with an astounding 18 pallets each containing 48 boxes of books delivered to Noosa Leisure Centre, to be joined with others dropped off for the book sale.
