GABBS dates for 2025
The next Great Auckland Bargain Book Fair will be held on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd November 2025.
Location: Barfoot & Thompson Stadium (Corner of Kepa Road & Kohimarama Road).
BOOKS WANTED!
If you have good condition second-hand books that you would like to donate, you can drop them off at our sorting depot behind the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium (Kohimarama) throughout the year.
Access via gate 2 of Selwyn College - follow the road to the left around to the back of the school / stadium to the drop off point by the large containers. There is a red staircase to the left and under this is a covered drop off area.
Please put your donations in a box or bag and leave it on our shelves under shelter. If you have a substantial number of books, contact us in advance to coordinate the most ideal time for your donation. We often receive books that have been sitting in garages for years, covered in mould, which will end up in the rubbish bin, which costs us money to dispose of.

We accept:
– Good-excellent condition, resalable, second-hand books
– Children’s books
– DVDs & CDs

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
78.8% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
21.2% No. This would be impossible in practice.
