Books at One is a collective of locally managed community bookshops. We are a social enterprise, investing profits in fostering a love of reading for learning, pleasure and connection.
Our bookshops act as social and creative hubs, offering a welcoming, comfortable space where people of all ages come together through a shared love of reading.
