Our quality standards
Because we pride ourselves on the good quality and condition of books at our sales, we can only accept good-condition items that can be resold (with the exception of rare, valuable or antiquarian books). If items are yellowed, mouldy, torn, dirty, written in, defaced, have pages stuck together, or are in any other way significantly damaged, please recycle them rather than go to the trouble of bringing them to us.
If you have more than a few books, please place them in a small-sized cardboard box or shopping bag, which is light enough to be easily carried.
If you have any enquiries about donations, please call (02) 9498 8805 or email us at admin@lifelineh2h.org.au

On reaching the far end of Leighton Place at the top of the hill, a large white sign can be seen, "51 Leighton Place - 150mtrs". Follow the driveway in the direction shown past other buildings. No. 51 is at the end of the driveway, and unit 1 can be reached by taking the down ramp to the left of the main entrance. Unit 1 is immediately at the bottom of the ramp on the right.
