The Nook Bookshop in Wellsford is celebrating Bookshop Day with a talk and children’s colouring competition on Saturday, October 7, from 9am to 1pm.
NZ Bookshop Day was founded in 2015 by the Booksellers Association of Aotearoa New Zealand with the aim of celebrating the cultural importance of books and bookshops within communities.
The colouring competition will run throughout the morning, with the winner notified on Monday, October 9.
At 10.15am, Beatnik Publishing founder Sally Greer will talk about the magic she uses to create books. The morning will feature a special prize draw and book discounts.
The Nook owners, Andrew and Rebecca Martin, say NZ Bookshop Day is a chance to shout about the great things a local bookshop brings to the community and celebrate with customers.
The bookshop has been an active part of the Wellsford community for many years, as Tina’s Bookshop for 19 years and, most recently, as The Nook. It supports schools, the library and other local organisations with donations and discounted books.
