Manurewa Library is holding a Tamariki Market on Saturday 7 December, 9.30 - 12, 30 pm. This is a great opportunity for young people to fundraise for Christmas, holidays or special projects. Please share this panui with young creatives so they can "book a space" to sell their crafts, sewing, knitting and baking etc. Phone Sonia at the Library on 262-5273 to book a space at the Tamariki Market.
