Christchurch Booksellers Relief Fund Established
A fund for the relief of Booksellers in earthquake devastated Christchurch has been established by Booksellers NZ.
Chairman Hamish Wright advises that a number of members had approached the Association asking how they might be able to help their fellow booksellers in Christchurch, most of whose businesses are closed because of the damage caused by the quake.
“This fund will give our members the opportunity to contribute to helping booksellers in Christchurch get through this extremely difficult time,” said Hamish.
Book Tokens NZ Ltd have opened the account with a payment of $1000.
Donations may be made to The Christchurch Booksellers Relief Fund Westpac account 03-0502-0573028-002.
The fund will be administered by the Board of Booksellers NZ.
