NZ Book Month 2011 - Where we celebrate the power of books. The following is taken directly off the website for New Zealand Book Month. Auckland Libraries are joining in the celebrations so stay tuned and we will let you know what is happening and when.
Fiction or non-fiction, a book has the power to change your life. New Zealand Book Month is an annual campaign to encourage us all to celebrate books and reading. New Zealand Book Month is the perfect time to discover your next life-changing book, pick up a recommended read, share a favourite book with your friends and family, encourage colleagues to start a book club – and to meet some of New Zealand's finest writers at one of over 200 events right across the country during March 2011. There are so many ways in which you can take part in New Zealand Book Month. Here's how you can get involved:
Take advantage of our Books Change Lives $5 vouchers. New Zealand Book Month will be distributing four million $5 book vouchers during March 2011. Here's where you'll find out more about the voucher, and get details of how you can get hold of yours.
