We Are Books: Extra Hours for Christmas
Christchurch’s community bookshop We Are Books, is extending its opening hours until 6pm on Wednesday 17th December and Monday 22nd December to allow customers extra time to browse and select just the right book for those on your gift-giving list.
Regular opening hours are 9.30am to 3pm Monday to Friday and 11am to 3pm on weekends.
We stock extremely affordable and popular new books within our children’s section as well as pre-loved books. Our New Zealand, Travel and History sections also feature very interesting books.
Bookshop vouchers, Remix Plastics earrings, notebooks by Portside Books’ and Cards by Olive Harris make great gifts. Our foyer displays include beautiful Christmas decorations, and cards as well as baby knitwear, wheat bags, microwave bowl holders and lavender bags that make super stocking fillers.
The bookshop is staffed entirely by volunteers, and has helped connect new people to the work of Canterbury Workers’ Educational Association (CWEA) while providing an accessible, affordable source of books for the community.
All shop proceeds directly support CWEA - a registered charity that provides local adult education and community space.
