About Glenside Lions Club Bookmart
The Bookmart is located at Tusmore Park, in the old Scout Hall, on the corner of Barr-Smith and Kennaway Streets, Tusmore (UBD Map reference 119, J 14).
The Bookmart has a very wide selection of quality books and magazines. All books are categorised by subject and author, as in a library, and if you are looking for a specific book our volunteer staff will do all they can to help. At any one time there are over 40,000 books on the shelves.
Burnside Council provides the premises rent-free, the labour is voluntary, and the books are donated. So the great majority of the Bookmart’s revenue is available to support charitable causes in the local community, nationally and globally. If you visit the Bookmart you can see how last year’s profits were allocated.
Sometimes we designate a month when all the Bookmart’s revenue will be donated to a single charity. This will happen in December 2024, with all takings going to SLAVA Ukrainian Cultural Centre pay for shipment of medical supplies to Ukraine.
The Bookmart also acts as a distribution point for the Lion Christmas Cakes and Puddings – available all year round. These famous products are always in strong demand and for your convenience can be purchased at the Bookmart during the trading hours.
