We have been working all through the last difficult eighteen months and need to take a short break to recharge our batteries! The days that we are open are as follows but we would suggest that you telephone first to check before visiting us. Thank you for your support to us during these difficult times and we look forward to seeing you again very soon.

We work closely with local School Library Services who arrange visits by authors into schools in the area that they serve. School Library Services offer a wide range of cost effective service to local schools which enable school librarians to make the most of their limited budgets. They give professional advice on books to stock, run training programmes and assist with promotional material.

This is a great bookshop...placed an order during COVID-19 lockdown on a Sunday afternoon, quick call next morning to make card payment and the book was delivered to my door (on the Island) that afternoon at no extra cost! Can't wait to get in there once the lockdown restrictions are lifted to have a browse! Thank you :o)

This is what a bookshop should be. Incredible range of books for a small shop. Owner has such in depth knowledge of any questions I ask her. Loved choosing books for my children from here and now for my grandson. If books are not in the shop they can be ordered and usually in within a couple of days. Can happily pass an hour browsing the many interesting titles. We'll worth a visit!
