We are delighted to have been awarded a grant by American thriller writer James Patterson to help create our parents’ and children’s reading and writing room. (More news about this when the work starts).
We are one of 73 independent bookshops in the UK and Ireland to get one of these grants, and we thank James Patterson for his generosity.
James Patterson is donating a total of £250,000 in grants to independent bookshops across Britain and Ireland.
He is a founding partner of the Children’s Reading Fund.
