Support your local community book shop
You did it!
In 2021 over 300 community members completed a kickstarter to make The Book Stop a reality. We managed to raise £45,000 and this was matched by Co-Operatives Shares Booster Scheme and in November 2021 we opened our doors for the first time.
We are really proud of the community hub that we have built, and believe that it is more than just a book shop.
"In the middle of a town centre, run by algorithms where the country is saying 'we don't care about you' is The Book Stop, pouring out love and humanity. That's what you do, that's what bookshops do."
Frank Cottrell-Boyce
We want to ensure that The Book Stop is here for the long term. Any support you can offer is welcome, however, the most direct support you can offer is to become a Shareholder and Member.
