Good morning, SunLive readers, and welcome to another Sunday.

Today the weather is expected to be cloudy at first, before clearing and becoming fine this afternoon.

The forecast high is for 19 degrees, while the low is nine.

Today book lovers will be able to head to the Tauranga Harbour City Lions annual book sale for their second day at Tauranga Racecourse.

The annual fundraising fair has moved from the Devonport Road pop-up shop to a more expansive setting at the racecourse, where you'll find 'many more books, much more car parking and better facilities,” according to Lion Joan Forester. 'The quality of the books is superb and they're all very well priced.”

A massive 500 cartons of books are on sale, with 25 to 30 books in each carton. 'A lot of excellent fiction,” says Joan, 'lots and lots of fiction."

Meanwhile, the Tauranga Waldorf School Fair and Open Day is on in Welcome Bay on in Welcome Bay today.

Preparation for the fair started months ago, with kindergarten and school children as well as parents creating handmade products. All are made out of natural materials such as wool and wood. These include items such as Christmas tree ornaments, children's bows and arrows and hand-dipped candles.

Visitors to the fair will also be able to sample at least 12 different artisan choices of cuisine.

Check it out from 10am-3pm at 364 Welcome Bay Road, Welcome Bay.
