After a major refurbishment, the library is all ready to reopen and is turning its grounds into a weekend marketplace for readers, offering thousands of fiction, non-fiction, and large-format books in English, plus a selection of other languages, donated by Neilson Hays Library supporters. Prices start at only Bt20.

The event also helps reduce plastic waste by inviting customers to bring their own bag and provides a Bt10 paper bag for anyone wanting extra. The neighbourhood British Club will also serve a choice of delectable food and drinks at the event, and parking is only available in the Voravit Building (Surawong Road, near Naret Road, approximately 20 metres before library entrance) at the fee of Bt30 per hour.

Those wanting to contribute to the sale can drop off books at the library between 9.30am to 5pm. Proceeds will go towards the extensive restoration of its landmark building.
