Opening hours

We receive regular donations of newly published books with an emphasis on contemporary fiction, non-fiction, classics and children’s books. Our foreign languages section is particularly strong, as is our range of visual arts, self-help, and cookery books.

If you’re looking for cards and gifts you’ll find a varied range of ethical, Fairtrade, hand eco-friendly Amnesty products for children and adults, as well as original cards, postcards, and other handmade items produced by local artists.

We are often looking for people to join our volunteer team. If you would like to find out more about volunteering please email [email protected] or pop in for a chat.
