Blue Dragon Book Fair is back on 6 and 7 May at Ngaio Hall
With all proceeds supporting the Blue Dragon Children’s Centre in Hanoi.
Your donations of books, DVDs, CDs, puzzles and board games can be accepted from Saturday 8 April.
Where – Kennards Storage at the bottom of Sar Street (19 Hutt Road). Drop in the downstairs area there, on the right-hand side, clearly labelled ‘Blue Dragon’
Please donate good-quality books only: NO books in bad condition, old atlases and academic text books, library books, encyclopaedias and magazines. There is also a limited market for self-help books, travel guides and older recipe books, so please be selective with these.
We would also be grateful if books arrive in standard or small boxes or bags that can be easily lifted. Banana boxes are the best as they fit tidily on to the trestle tables.
Kennard’s storage is open M-F 8am-6pm; Sat 9-5; Sunday 10-4pm. Sunday hours will apply on Easter Monday.
Any queries, email Iona at iona.mcnaughton@gmail.com
