Schools & Outreach

Making a meaningful difference to people's lives is at the heart of what we do.

Every book you buy from us makes a difference to the communities we serve.

Schools

Childrens books

Each year our schools team read hundreds of books and choose a set of Top Titles with a range of themes and cultural and gender diversity to promote Reading for Pleasure.

The books on our lists are always...

✅ a really good read
✅ recently published
✅ value for money

We also know some children find reading long books more of a challenge so we have curated a list of Super Readable titles, shorter books which are still a good read.

We work with schools across Devon to provide a wide range of services including author visits, book fairs and library rejuvenation & restocking support. Drop us a line to find out more!
