Book fair coordinator, Pat Waite, says that it’s an extremely popular feature on the Tawa calendar and each year a significant amount of money is raised for local charitable purposes.
“The book fair is made possible by the generosity of not only Tawa residents but also others across Wellington and Porirua in donating their surplus books,” said Waite. “Many use the fair to stock up on their year’s reading and then donate the books back for the next fair.”
This year the book fair is being held at the Beanstalk Kindergarten premises in Duncan Street, opposite Tawa College.

Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Mana’s MP.
At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you're having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn't enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.
To be elected, the candidate needs to secure the most votes.
