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
