Our Book Fair raises funds for the East City Community Trust, the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium sports clubs, and other community groups. The journey doesn't stop there though! Left over books from the fair go on to great use through a number of initiatives in schools and colleges in other parts of Auckland, and all the way over in Papua New Guinea thanks to one of our partners "From me to PNG"

We accept books, children's books, DVDs, jigsaw puzzles, records, CDs, and magazines (no older than 2 years) at the Stadium all year round.

We are currently accepting donations of good 2nd hand books in resaleable condition - for information re drop off please refer to website -

PLEASE NOTE -
NO ex-library books, travel books, old out-dated technical books, cassettes, video tapes, magazines older than 2 years, or encyclopedias!!
And PLEASE- books must be in resaleable condition - no mouldy, yellowed books.
