Home of the loveable My name is Annemieke and I own The Book Orchard.

I'm adventurous, love meeting new people and love, love, love books! I aim to offer all of my customers the best experience in-store as I believe that old-fashioned customer service is rare and hard to come by these days. I feel very at home here and love the Gippsland community. With my dog by my side and my love for knowledge, I hope to bring an upbeat tempo to every shopper's experience.

You may have noticed the pink and white box that has appeared in-store.
It’s our Share the Dignity - Dignity Drive box and we want to fill it up!!

Menstruation isn’t a choice but for many experiencing menstrual inequity, accessing essential products can come at the cost of other basic needs. So every August we join the Dignity Drive to collect donations of these essential products which are collected & delivered directly to local charity organisations who can get them to those who need them.

If u are wondering what u can donate - here are the deets….

Brand new period products including
pads,
tampons,
maternity pads,
incontinence pads,
reusable pads,
period-proof underwear and
menstrual cups.

All donations must be brand new, still sealed in their original packaging and must comply with Australian quality standards.

Hope u can help us make a difference 😊

It’s here…& it’s pupdate time!!!

We have waited a bit longer to do this update as we were all a bit nervous ….especially Mum….but the bestest news is that everything looks like it’s going to be PAWFECT!!

I am going to have a little scar…but I think that makes me look very handsomes…. 🤭

Thank u all so very very much for all your support, kind words and best wishes….its has been very stressful for Mum and i am so glad u have been looking after her….
We both think u are all so PAWSOME !!!

PS Mum’s shoulder ended up being a stuck subluxation and because it was sitting in the wrong position for so long it’s going to take some time to fully heal but she is so much better than she was … which means she can give me treats & belly rubs with both hands now!!

Our hours for Monday 13th will be….
9AM - 3PM

Normal hours will resume on Tuesday 14th…..with a newer, faster computer system that hopefully won’t randomly crash anymore!!!
