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.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
