Auckland Pop-Up Book Fair returns after Covid-19 setback

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from North Shore Times

New Zealand Red Cross is teaming up with students to host the Auckland Pop-Up Book Fair this November.

The Book Fair will take place at Rangitoto College on November 6 from 9am to 5pm and November 7 from 10am to 4pm.

“The pop-up book fair is an opportunity for local book-lovers to dig through a huge variety of pre-loved books and find themselves a page-turner they simply won’t be able to put down,” Red Cross spokeswoman Nia Oxburgh said.

“All funds raised help support the valuable work New Zealand Red Cross does, both here in Aotearoa and abroad.”

The 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19, but in 2019 the event raised over $7,000 dollars.

“We hope, with the support of the local community, we can make this year just as much of a success,” Oxburgh said.
