Barnabas Bookshop

Barnabas Bookshop is a welcoming second-hand bookshop in New Brighton, Christchurch, offering inexpensive pre-loved books across a wide range of genres and subjects. It is a lovely place to browse for a holiday read, uncover an old favourite or find something unexpected for the shelves. Operated by the Anglican Parish of Linwood-Aranui, the shop gives donated books a new life while supporting community outreach initiatives in Linwood and Aranui. Every purchase helps contribute to the parish’s work in the local community. Barnabas Bookshop gratefully accepts good-quality book donations, although it does not buy books. It is located at 121 Seaview Road, New Brighton, and is generally open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am – 4pm; closed on public holidays and over the Christmas–New Year period.
