OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER

Our new extension has allowed us to improve the space we have for children in the bookshop. We won an award from author James Patterson to assist us with this project. Now all our children's books are together in an enlarged area, and we found a delightful little children's chair in our local antique shop. A child size Pooh bear is ready for a hug from small visitors, recalling the connection we have preserved to the Harbour Bookshop founded by Christopher Robin Milne in the 1950s.

OUR YARD EXTENSION IS OPEN

We are putting the finishing touches to our lovely new extension which covers the old yard behind the bookshop. Painitng is nearly complete and we are adding more shelves to display our fantastic selection of books better. Pictured is our Manager, Andrea Saunders by what was the back window, and Tony Fyson, Bookshop Chairman in the new extension. The lovely stained glass window was the door to the yard - it is now a cupboard!
