New Year book sale will support local schoolThe Rotary Club of Wānaka book sale has thousands of books.

The Rotary Club of Wānaka’s New Year Book Sale will take place over three days in January (January 10-12).


The annual book sale has traditionally attracted hundreds of people to the Lake Wānaka Centre in search of a great read at a bargain price. 



Rotary Club of Wānaka president Mike Elliot said the club has a stockpile of books which were collected earlier in the year.


“We have thousands of books which will be for sale next week,” Mike said.



The books have been categorised to make browsing easy and the majority of books are priced at two dollars. 


Some newer books and special interest books are a little more expensive.


“It’s a big job to categorise and price but well worth it when we see the response and the funds we can raise for the community,” Mike said.



This year the Rotary club has teamed up with Hāwea Flat School to manage the book sale, and all proceeds raised will go to the school to help them support their activities in 2023.


The book sale will take place at the Lake Wānaka Centre from Tuesday (January 10) to Thursday (January 12), open from 10am-4pm each day.
