📚 Big News from Bow Books 📚

A Dedicated Children’s Bookshop is Coming Soon!

We’re delighted to be bringing something very special to Royston this summer—a brand-new Bow Books Children’s Bookshop!

From the very beginning, our aim has been to encourage the next generation to discover, choose, and build their own love of books - from toddlers through to teenagers. At a time when screen use is higher than ever, creating a space just for young readers feels more important than ever.

Following the wonderful support for our Children’s Den, we’re excited to be expanding into a bespoke children’s bookshop at 12 Angel Pavement, directly opposite our current store—designed to inspire young readers and help them build a lifelong love of books.

To help bring this to life, we’re now looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers who can spare a few hours each week. No bookselling experience is needed—just a love of books and supporting young readers.

👉 If you are interested, or would like to find out more - Pop into 6 Angel Pavement and speak to Paul
👉 Please share to help us spread the word!

🌟Be part of something special in our community

Thank you for your continued support – we look forward to seeing you soon.
