Hi Booklovers! Thank you for your support to date. In particular there have been many interesting books among the various lots of donations coming in.
There have been many requests over the years for books on fishing which I was usually unable to supply, however we have been very fortunate. We now have enough books and DVDs to set up a new box in the sports section.
Today we had a couple of boxes of older cricket and rugby books arrive – very interesting.
For the lady who was looking for Camilla Lackberg – I now have one of hers – please email me to find out if it is one you want. I have a new Peter Fitzsimons book for the gentlemen who was asking – please email me re this.
I have found the box of Horse and Pony magazines. I have also taken to the hall this evening a big pile of the Australian Cardmaking Stamping & Papercraft magazines – all looking for new homes.
There are lots of new books being sorted into their boxes daily so please don't forget to come in again before we close on Sunday.
I have had several responses to my earlier email requesting that only vaccinated persons come into the hall for my book fair. Perhaps I should make myself clearer. I am not asking to see vaccination passes as I have no wish to embarrass anyone in front of others, nor can I afford to employ someone to check them for me. I will be putting up a sign on Tuesday to reflect this position. I have asked those unvaccinated persons who wish to attend to come either early in the morning (9 – 10am) or late in the afternoon (5 – 6pm) when there are fewer people in the hall. Additionally, I will be working every day until mid-January and I cannot afford to go off sick. I do not have anyone who can cover for me (even if I could afford to pay them) so I must remain healthy – and I expect all my customers want to remain healthy as well.
Best wishes and stay safe

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
