The GABBS book fair is an annual event held at the Barfoot and Thompson Stadium in Kohimaramara.
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 -

And PLEASE- books must be in resaleable condition - no mouldy, yellowed books.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
