It is our 30th year so hoping it will be even better than usual!!!
We have even more books than last year, and are especially lucky to have a wonderful near new collection of militaria books kindly donated by a collector.
Lots of puzzles, CDs, DVDs, records, and games also available.
Due to the huge number of donated books received, we are closing the drop off for donations as from this Saturday 25th October to give our volunteers time to get ready for the big event.
Bring your own bags to grab some bargains from our huge range of both fiction and non-fiction.
Hope to see you there.

If you have good condition second-hand books that you would like to donate, you can drop them off at our sorting depot behind the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium (Kohimarama) throughout the year.
Access via gate 2 of Selwyn College - follow the road to the left around to the back of the school / stadium to the drop off point by the large containers. There is a red staircase to the left and under this is a covered drop off area.

If you have a substantial number of books, contact us in advance to coordinate the most ideal time for your donation.
