To help promote reading at home we can hold one of our popular book fairs. We will spend the day with you and your children talking about books and encouraging a love of reading.

We offer a wide selection of books and can also reflect your current curriculum. If you are holding a book week or just want a general stall we can organise this for you. 15% of any sales will be donated to the school in books of your choice.

what schools are saying:

Mrs Iso Aplin, Year 3 Teacher and Reading co-ordinator, Goldstone Primary School

We really enjoy the fantastic relationship we have with the Book Nook. It is wonderful to have such a welcoming and well resourced independent bookshop so close to us. We have been able to have authors visit the school that we would never have been able to afford were it not for the fact that the Book Nook is such a well respected business. Julie and Vanessa are fonts of book knowledge and we really enjoy working with them and their team.
The Book Nook in Hove is the most wonderful treasure-house of children's books. Their stock is always exciting and wide-ranging and up to date. But an even bigger treasure is the staff who are exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.
The Book Nook is excellent - the staff are brilliant at suggesting books for children of all reading abilities and their regular 'meet the author' events are wonderful.
This is a simply wonderful bookshop - the staff have such a wealth of knowledge and passion about children's books - they are so helpful and create such a welcoming environment.
They are equally as brilliant with teachers as parents and will find the perfect title to get children reading.
Thank you so much for the brilliant selection of books you sent to us! The staff had a brilliant morning looking through them and choosing some next texts for our planning next year. Many thanks for your Super service
