New - Bookaholics Snug
We are busy turning the area at the back of the shop into a bookaholics 'snug' - lots of good fiction, biography, history & special interest titles for adults. There will be comfy seating and tea/coffee on offer. Come along and escape from the hurly burly - relax & have a mooch among the bookshelves.
Reading Groups for Children
We would like to start reading groups for children - Hatchlings, Dragonlets and Fire-breathers - introducing children from Reception age up to Years 5/6 to really enjoying books and talking about books with others. Let's get more out of reading!
Please call the shop on 01420 87801 to find out more and to book a place for your child.
