Buy books. Do good. By supporting us, you support our work with schools, care homes, food banks and more. Thank you!
Any book lover will tell you that independent bookshops strive to be at the foundation of our communities. And within the category of indie bookshops there's another very special category: those that are nonprofit and collectively-owned.
Sales from our bookshop and website help to fund the provision of pioneering programmes supporting literacy, community well-being and access to cultural opportunities for all. It's a win-win: ‘buy books, grow community’.
As a social enterprise we trade for the benefit of the community. This means investing in local projects and working collaboratively with individuals and partners including schools, libraries and literary festivals.
Our aim is to provide a brilliant service; create accessible meeting spaces for events and workshops; to expand our bespoke volunteer scheme; and to develop our award-winning schools outreach programme.
