Who We Are

Welcome to The Book Stop's Here. We are an independent bookshop serving St Helens and surrounding boroughs. Our bookshop is owned by the community and most importantly; exists for the benefit of the community. 

Our aim is to create a thriving community hub in which everyone feels safe and welcome. We host a coffee shop run by 2 Brothers Coffee, offering award-winning tea, coffee, and delicious cakes and we host a wide range of events, including adult & children’s reading groups, book clubs and author signings.

 

We stock a wide range of new books, both fiction and non-fiction with over 5,000 titles in store and are able to order in most books within 24 hours for customer orders.
