Book donations closed until 1st December

Robyn Faithfull from Great Auckland Bargain Book Sale

Thanks to all those who have donated books in good resaleable condition throughout the year.
We have now closed for donations for GABBS 2025 so that the volunteers can concentrate on all the organization involved in the actual event - next weekend !!!!
We have over 1400 banana boxes of books - fiction, children, non-fiction - and many boxes of CDs, DVDs and puzzles.
Hope to see you there !!
Then we need to give our volunteers a much needed rest for a few weeks.
Donations for 2026 GABBS will be accepted from 1st December until 20th December - then re-open again from 26th January
