Corona Virus – World Crisis Slipway is now fully operational again, with all shops and restaurants open for business. A Novel Idea is open from 10 am to 6pm every day, including Sundays and public holidays, for all your reading needs. Books have never been so important for yourself and your children’s mental health in these quieter and sometimes isolated times. If you are unable to drop in, we can deliver your books either through PIKI delivery service (see our list of books on their website) , or, you can phone or email us with your selection from our website and we will arrange delivery to your residence.
