A ‘save the date’ on the Manawatū calendar, the Palmerston North Book Sale over King’s Birthday Weekend is annual proof of how our members and branches are here for humanity.

The Palmerston North Book Sale is one of the biggest community fundraiser for New Zealand Red Cross. Every year, for more than 30 years, the community gets together each King’s Birthday Weekend to fill three halls with books, jigsaws, DVDs and CDs.

Since its inception more than 30 years ago, the Palmerston North Red Cross Annual Book Sale has grown into a three-hall, four-day, weekend extravaganza.

Mohammad Ali, host of the Access Radio show and podcast ‘Humbling Stories’, is encouraging other young migrants in Palmerston North to share their stories.

There’s something magical about the 'book people' of Palmerston North, a huge team of volunteers who make the impressive Palmerston North Book Sale happen. For the last few years, they’ve been helping to give the gift of books to communities around the world as well.
