Baby books, picture books, chapter books, fiction, non-fiction — we love them all. And we love them even more when they are by a Kiwi writer or illustrator. There are three ways to donate books:
Donate books in-person
We will accept brand-new books at any time - just send or drop them to KCB HQ at the address below.
During our Xmas donation period, from the 1st of November until mid-December each year, you can purchase books to donate from your nearest participating bookstore (listed below).
The bookstore will have a collection box to deposit your purchased books into.
You can also buy a book from ANY bookstore at ANY time and send it directly to KCB HQ:
Kiwi Christmas Books,
51 Shackleton Road, Mt Eden,
Auckland 1024
Donate books online
You can order books online from your local bookstore at any time throughout the year and have them shipped to us at:
Kiwi Christmas Books,
51 Shackleton Road , Mt Eden,
Auckland 1024
Buy Christmas cards
For $30.00, your employee / colleague / mate / Great Aunt Gertrude gets a lovely Kiwi Christmas Books Xmas card - and a child in your town gets to unwrap a brand new book for Christmas.
