We Are Books Birthday Sale Celebration
We Are Books is Christchurch’s community bookshop and will celebrate its first birthday with a sale from 29th September to 12th October 2025. The shop has become a favourite stop for locals looking for affordable, good-quality second-hand books.
So come down to We Are Books at 59 Gloucester Street with hundreds of $2 book bargains and 10 percent off store-wide for CWEA members. Shoppers can also look forward to a few celebratory treats in store during the fortnight.
We Are Books is open from 9.30am to 3pm Monday to Friday and 11am to 3pm on weekends.
All proceeds from We Are Books directly support Canterbury Workers’ Educational Association’s (CWEA) activities. This registered charity has provided Christchurch based adult education and community space for over a century. More than a fundraiser and staffed entirely by volunteers, the shop has also helped to connect new people to the work of CWEA.

“We’re so grateful to our volunteers and customers. Each purchase brings joy to the reader and help CWEA to thrive” says CWEA Director, Lottie Vinson.
