One Sleep till Bookfair

Sat­ur­day  is  Welling­ton’s most amaz­ing, most awe­some, most excel­lent, book relat­ed event of the year — The DCM Annu­al Book­fair

Take 90000+ books, add LPs, CDs, DVDs, Cas­settes, Mag­a­zines, Jig­saw Puz­zles & Games galore.

Every­one going to book­fair has a strat­e­gy for this is one of those very few shop­ping events when you can’t spend ‘too much’ because all the mon­ey ALL THE MONEY goes towards DCM whose mis­sion is to help the most vul­ner­a­ble in Welling­ton.

My strat­e­gy is head straight for the sci fi — it clears out fast, then cir­cle back for cook­books and my favourite thing, vin­tage craft­ing books  — the old­er the bet­ter. Then just spend an hour ran­dom­ly adding to my stash 😀

DCM’s num­ber one pri­or­i­ty is end­ing home­less­ness. Enabling peo­ple to get off the streets help­ing them find their own home and help them stay there.

So if you were won­der­ing ‘oh should i get anoth­er book’? think YES because it helps make a change for the bet­ter in a per­son­’s life, plus you get more books. Also did you know that for  each food par­cel client DCM  address the under­ly­ing rea­sons for the short­age of food so that peo­ple don’t have to keep return­ing to a food bank for assis­tance. So your mon­ey spent on books makes a big huge amaz­ing dif­fer­ence.

So here’s the details

Book­fair is on This Sat­ur­day and Sun­day start­ing each day at 10am & run­ning till 4pm. It’s at the TSB Bank Are­na  and as an extra musi­cal bonus DCM Ukes Matawa­ka will per­form at the Book­fair, on Sat­ur­day  at 2pm and 3pm
