Founders Annual Book Fair starts on 4 June 2022
Founders Annual Book Fair is coming soon! 9 Day Bountiful Book Bonanza Queens Birthday Weekend 2022.
See you there!
The concept of the Founders Book Fair originated with Amy Brooke who was frustrated by the lack of used book shops in Nelson and shocked to discover so many unwanted booked ended up as landfill. Together with friend Shona Banks, Amy organised the first book fair on 25 June 1988. Its’ objective was firstly to recycle books and secondly to raise funds for the park.
The fair was such a success that it has become an annual event and with the help of hundreds of volunteers it has grown to be one of New Zealand’s largest book fairs running for nine days each year starting on Queen’s Birthday Weekend. Each year there are thousands of great quality books to choose from.
