Book collection for Variety

Karen from Hauraki

Hi, My name is Mirabelle and my friend Abby and I are collecting books for part of our BIS Year 7 School Project for Charity.

Do you have any books in good used condition, you would like to donate?

If you have books to donate for the online Variety Book Fair we would love to hear from you, if you can drop them in my letterbox 13 Northboro Road, Hauraki Corner before Friday 29th November or if you have lots you can leave them at my front door.
All books donated will be taken to the Variety collection centre on Friday 30th November.
Books donated to Variety will be sold through their Variety Trade Me online book fair to collectors and book lovers around New Zealand.
Funds raised from the sales go towards Variety's vital work helping disadvantaged Kiwi kids. Many thanks Mirabelle and Abby
