TAWA BOOK FAIR
Tawa Rotary’s annual book fair gets under way this weekend and the club has added an extra weekend to the event this year.
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.
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)
