Urgent and important - please note Book Sale dates now changed!!!!
Since we are in Level 2, the Tauranga Rotary Book Sale at Harvard Way Mount Maunganui cannot now be open Friday 5th or Saturday 6th March.
If the Level has dropped to Level 1 we will be open on Sunday 7th March from 9 am until 5 pm, and also the following weekend, Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th from 9am until 5pm.
Come and restock your bookshelves, while also helping worthwhile causes in your local community. If you have been here before, you will know it is well worth a visit, because we have 1000s upon 1000s of books. It is really easy to find your favourites since the nonfiction is sorted by topic and the fiction is sorted by author!! We also have jigsaws, and games, cds and dvds and art.
Hope to see you there!
If necessary, please contact Ann Pritchard on 07 543 5350.
