Hi Booklovers! Thank you for your support to date. In particular there have been many interesting books among the various lots of donations coming in.

There have been many requests over the years for books on fishing which I was usually unable to supply, however we have been very fortunate. We now have enough books and DVDs to set up a new box in the sports section.

Today we had a couple of boxes of older cricket and rugby books arrive – very interesting.

For the lady who was looking for Camilla Lackberg – I now have one of hers – please email me to find out if it is one you want. I have a new Peter Fitzsimons book for the gentlemen who was asking – please email me re this.

I have found the box of Horse and Pony magazines. I have also taken to the hall this evening a big pile of the Australian Cardmaking Stamping & Papercraft magazines – all looking for new homes.

There are lots of new books being sorted into their boxes daily so please don't forget to come in again before we close on Sunday.

I have had several responses to my earlier email requesting that only vaccinated persons come into the hall for my book fair. Perhaps I should make myself clearer. I am not asking to see vaccination passes as I have no wish to embarrass anyone in front of others, nor can I afford to employ someone to check them for me. I will be putting up a sign on Tuesday to reflect this position. I have asked those unvaccinated persons who wish to attend to come either early in the morning (9 – 10am) or late in the afternoon (5 – 6pm) when there are fewer people in the hall. Additionally, I will be working every day until mid-January and I cannot afford to go off sick. I do not have anyone who can cover for me (even if I could afford to pay them) so I must remain healthy – and I expect all my customers want to remain healthy as well.

Best wishes and stay safe
Trudi

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
