Clear the clutter for 2012! It's time to make way for the new and rid your cupboards of good quality pre-loved books, games, CDs, DVDs and puzzles. Variety - The Children's Charity will happily accept donations for its annual Variety Monster Book Fair which will be held from 16-19 August at the Alexandra Park Function Centre.

The book fair committee is hard at work sorting the donations into over 200 categories of different subjects, enabling purchaser's easy access to their specific areas of interest.

Funds raised from the Fair go towards Variety's Future Kiwi Kids programme, providing grants for books, computers and literacy aides to benefit children nationwide. In 2011, sales exceeded $110,000.

Books can be either dropped off to Variety's office at 290 Great South Rd, Greenlane from 8.30am - 5.00pm or Variety's special 'Book Bus' can pick them up if requested. Please call the Variety office on 520-4111. The Book Bus will pick up in areas within a 20km radius of Greenlane.
