Books from Our Backyard

Love books? New Zealand produces outstanding writing and Books from our Backyard is an event to connect local readers with the fantastic scope of great writing being produced here in Aotearoa.

At Books from our Backyard, you'll have the chance to meet authors face to face, discover new books, nab some bargains you won't find elsewhere and stock up on summer reads and Christmas gifts for the whole family.

We’re creating a fun, late-spring day out celebrating New Zealand books, and getting them into the hands of you, the readers. With free entry and free parking, it couldn't be easier to get along!
