Jill Williams, from Hāwera Genealogy, is dwarfed by the thousands of books in boxes waiting for their annual sale. Convenor Jill Williams, who heads a team of 10 volunteers, said the annual fundraiser was the largest book fair held in Taranaki. "We have a good selection of art books this year, and several copies of each," she said. Sometimes you just don't go to bed, you're up all night when you're on the trail of somebody." "We have people coming in off the street most Wednesdays to research somebody, and our Facebook page is also popular."
