About
In August 2023, Hamilton Book Month celebrates NZ authors and their writing, with events covering different genres and age groups. Readers from the Waikato and beyond are invited to meet authors and illustrators, listen to them discuss their work, and ask questions. With activities and events for all ages, all month, this is a local celebration you won't want to miss.
​
We are passionate about providing no and low cost events and are extremely thankful to our funders Creative New Zealand, Hamilton City Council, Trust Waikato and National Poetry Day.
