PEGASUS POST<br />
A diversity of<br />
pre-loved books<br />
on display<br />
Anyone with a passion for pre-loved<br />
books will find a treasure-trove of titles on<br />
a huge diversity of topics at Barnabas Books<br />
in New Brighton.<br />
In July 2018, the existing shop and its<br />
contents were gifted to the Linwood-Aranui<br />
Parish of the Anglican Church by the St<br />
Christopher’s Trust, based in Avonhead.<br />
The 13 volunteers who run the shop under<br />
the leadership of project manager Deacon<br />
Anne Russell-Brighty all share a common<br />
interest – a love of books.<br />
The books, all of which have been donated,<br />
are neatly displayed under the various<br />
categories – fiction, non-fiction, and so on.<br />
The staff members are especially proud of<br />
the New Zealand section, which includes<br />
books about New Zealand and books by<br />
New Zealand authors. There is also a section<br />
of self-help titles covering a wide range of<br />
topics from budgeting advice to astrology<br />
and everything in between, and a selection<br />
of cooking and healthy eating books.<br />
Proceeds from the book sales go towards<br />
the many community, family and individual<br />
support programmes and services provided<br />
by the Linwood-Aranui Parish in East<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Barnabas Books is located in The<br />
Barn arcade, and staff member Davyd<br />
says he particularly enjoys the “collegial<br />
atmosphere” that exists among the business<br />
operators in the arcade.<br />
Barnabas Books is open Tuesday to<br />
Saturday 10am-4pm. So next time you are<br />
looking for something to read, or to learn<br />
about a new topic, have a browse around<br />
Barnabas Books. You will find the shop<br />
in The Barn at 121 Seaview Mall, New<br />
