The GABBS book fair is an annual event held at the Barfoot and Thompson Stadium in Kohimaramara.
Our Book Fair raises funds for the East City Community Trust, the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium sports clubs, and other community groups. The journey doesn't stop there though! Left over books from the fair go on to great use through a number of initiatives in schools and colleges in other parts of Auckland, and all the way over in Papua New Guinea thanks to one of our partners "From me to PNG"
We accept books, children's books, DVDs, jigsaw puzzles, records, CDs, and magazines (no older than 2 years) at the Stadium all year round.
We are currently accepting donations of good 2nd hand books in resaleable condition - for information re drop off please refer to website -

NO ex-library books, travel books, old out-dated technical books, cassettes, video tapes, magazines older than 2 years, or encyclopedias!!
And PLEASE- books must be in resaleable condition - no mouldy, yellowed books.

Pet sitting/ Dog boarding
Hi everyone,
We’re staying local over the holidays and offering dog sitting and boarding for anyone who’s been caught out by last-minute changes or can’t find a spot for their dog.
Calm, home environment and lots of care. Happy to answer questions and see if we’re the right match. 🐾
Please message me if you’d like to chat.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
