30th November – 1st December

Helensville A&P Showgrounds

“The Biggest & Best Book Fair in the West!”

The Lions Club of Helensville will be holding their Christmas Book Fair at the Helensville A&P Association Showgrounds on the weekend of the 30th November - 1st December, 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 May raised $9,593 from the sale of books, for which many thanks. All the money raised went towards helping schools, organisations and individuals in our community that required assistance. We have again had a large number of books donated, so there will be plenty to choose from.

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. There is for boaties a huge Maritime section and this year’s Cooking section is the largest ever we have had. 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, though Classics would come a close second. Popular authors are grouped together at the end of the hall.

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.

Please note that the last date we are accepting books for this Book Fair is Friday 23rd November.

Sorry, but we cannot accept donations at the Book Fair.
