Reading Groups
In addition, we hold monthly Bookgroup sessions of our own in the events space behind the shop. Click here for details on the Events page.
It all started in Lowdham!
Our local Reading Group Day became an established part of the Lowdham Book Festival and was the inspiration behind National Reading Group Day, which started in 2010.
The Bookcase owner, Jane Streeter, suggested that independent booksellers around the country could become involved in this during her two- year term of office as the President of the Booksellers’ Association. The project now has national publicity, and great partnerships with libraries, The Reading Agency and Reading Groups for Everyone, Book Aid International and many of the UK’s leading publishers. It runs as part of Independent Bookshop Week, a UK-wide celebration of independent bookshops.
And it all started in Lowdham!
