The popular Lions Preloved Bookshop will re-open its doors from Monday, June 1.
"We are biting at the bit to get back in," bookshop coordinator, Jann Wayland, said
The second-hand bookshop is run by Ulladulla Milton Lions Club and is an institution in the Bellbrook Arcade.
The shop has been closed since late March due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Mrs Wayland, at the time, said the volunteers just did not think it was safe for them to continue.
The vast majority of the volunteers have indicated that they want to get back into book-selling mode again and only a few declined.
Mrs Wayland said the volunteers would be following all the proper COVID-19 safety procedures.
Hand sanitisers will be available, only two people will be allowed in each aisle at the one time and they will also social awareness signage up around the shop.

Even the books won't escape a COVID clean and the volunteers were in the shop on Thursday getting things ready.
They are still taking donations of good quality second-hand books.
"The donated books will be cleaned and then allowed to sit in the backroom for 24-hours before they are ready for sale," she said.
The shop will be open from 9am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12.30pm on Saturday.
Funds from the shop go to supporting local causes.
The bookshop was a major supporter of the Jindelara Disability Respite House Project, which provides a quality short - term residential facility for young people with disabilities.
Money is now being raised for another community project.
