About BOOKARAMA

Howick Rotary launched BOOKARAMA at the turn of the century. In that time millions of books, puzzles, games, CD’s, DVD’s and LPs donated by the community have found new homes and generated over $600,000 for our community supporting local and international projects that help needy families, improve the environment, support heritage, help young people, provide disaster relief and assist numerous community events.

BOOKARAMA is an annual five-day event held in the second week of the October school holidays at the Somerville Intermediate Gymnasium in Howick from Wednesday through to Sunday. It attracts allcomers from far and wide - people who simply want to buy books through to families who are looking for educational and entertainment items.
