25th and 26th May 2024
Helensville A&P Showgrounds
“Still the Biggest & Best Book Fair in the West!”
The Lions Club of Helensville will be holding their Autumn Book Fair at the Helensville A&P Association Showgrounds on the weekend of the 25th and 26th May, opening at 9.00am on Saturday until 4.00pm and again on Sunday 10.00am until 3.00pm. As this is a community event entry is free, and we do not allow traders in before you, our community.
Our last Book Fair held in November raised $8,400 from the sale of books, for which many thanks. All the money raised went towards helping individuals and organizations in the community that required assistance. We have had an unprecedented number of books donated this year so there will be plenty of choice in all genres.
Books are priced to sell, with nothing over $2. There is a large selection of children’s and YA books for $1. Also, we have many jigsaw puzzles, board games, DVDs, CDs, and quality magazines available.
Non-Fiction will be split into twenty separate categories, including one section dedicated to New Zealand subjects, which is still our largest section. We have introduced two new sections, Art and Music, splitting these out from the Craft & Hobbies section. There is also plenty of general Non-Fiction which you can spend hours browsing through.
Fiction is arranged alphabetically by authors, with six special interest groups, the largest of which is the Fantasy/Science Fiction section.
Small donations of books can be left at Burmester Realty, Helensville, or for larger lots, contact Chris on 027 646 3324, or any other member of the Helensville Lions.
