The very good news is ....Book Sale Sunday !!
While we are now still in Covid Level 2, the Tauranga Rotary Book Sale at Harvard Way Mount Maunganui cannot be open Friday 5th or Saturday 6th March.
But since we will drop to Level 1, we will definitely 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.
What a great opportunity to 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!

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
Getting a good nights sleep
🌙 Struggling to catch quality Zzzs? 😴
In today's fast-paced world, a good night's sleep is essential for your overall #healthandwellbeing.
Here are 3 secrets to help you drift off into dreamland:
1️⃣ Light exposure matters! ☀️ Your body's internal clock craves natural light to regulate. Get outside daily to sync your body's rhythm – sorry, peeping through a window won't cut it!
2️⃣ Skip the late caffeine fix! ☕️ While tempting, it might sabotage your sleep. Try decaf, herbal teas, or warm lemon water instead. You'll need less caffeine if you're soaking up daylight regularly!
3️⃣ Move and unwind! 🚶♀️ Sedentary jobs and screen time can disrupt sleep. Take a stroll, indulge in a post-dinner bath, read a book, or enjoy tech-free chats in dim lighting. Create a cozy ambiance to wind down.
😊 Give these simple changes a go for more rejuvenating sleep. It might take time to adjust, but the refreshed mornings will make it worth it! 💤💫
