Books for Prisons - UPDATE
CRAVE in Morningside Drive have offered to be a drop off point for any books that you might like to donate. The toy store part of the cafe has a box setup to collect the books. If you cant find it then just ask one of the staff they will be able to help. Books suitable for men please.
I just couldnt run around all over Auckland picking up books so dropping off at Crave solves the problem. Thank you so much if you are able to drop off some books and thank you to those that have already donated. :)
