The annual Zonta Book Fair will not be held at Forum North in Whangārei as in previous years, but there will still be thousands of books, DVDs, jigsaws and CDs on offer later this month.
There are two new features of this year's Zonta Great New Zealand Book Fair in Whangārei, but one thing that hasn't changed is that there will be tens of thousands of books on offer.
Zonta has teamed up with Mangakahia Lions for this year's 28th running of the event on
July 31 and August 1.
Geraldine Edwards, from Zonta, said as well as teaming up with the Lions - ''we needed some strong men to help with the huge amount of books we have got" - another change is that this year's book sale will be held away from Forum North, for the first time.
Edwards said the sale will be in a space near to Craniums book store on Reyburn Lane, at the Town Basin, where the books are currently being stored and organised.
She said it means the books do not have to be transported twice. Edwards acknowledged there would not be as much parking close by as at Forum North, but hoped that would not deter people from attending the two-day sale.
