Karori Community Book Fair Coming Up Soon
Karori Rotary and Karori Lions have combined again to run our local Community Book Fair, to be held at the Karori Baptist Church on Friday 14 July ( public holiday for Matariki) from noon to 8pm and again on Saturday 15 July, from 9am to 4pm.
There are lots of books for the taking. The organisers are keen to get some more children’s books from beginners to 8-9 years. If you can donate children’s books please contact Beth Anders, Karori Lions on 021 264 1481 to arrange pick up.
Business houses in Karori have provided some prizes for purchases of books over $25. Go in the draw for a number of prizes.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
