Howick Rotary launched BOOKARAMA at the turn of the century. In that time, millions of books, puzzles, games, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and LPs donated by the community have found new homes and generated over $650,000 for our community. This supports 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 four-day event held in the second week of the October school holidays at the Howick College Gymnasium in Howick, from Thursday through to Sunday. It attracts all-comers from far and wide—from people who simply want to buy books to families looking for educational and entertainment items.
