It’s that time of the year! Come join the Churchmice and a cast of thousands of quality pre-owned books, available in exchange for donations in support of local charities and community-building organisations. Books, gifts, treats, music, Community!
Escape the worries and cares of modern life; unwind with a relaxing visit to St. Mary’s Churchmouse bookshop. Set in the warm ambiance of St. Mary’s nave, Churchmouse Books offers the visitor opportunities to browse, read, join in conversation, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea. If your preference is just to reflect and meditate, the soft light filtering through St. Mary’s celebrated stained glass windows contribute to a soothing atmosphere.
Churchmouse Books offers thousands of pre-owned titles to let you pursue just about any interest. New titles are available weekly; popular categories include Mysteries, Thrillers, Romance, Science, History and Travel. If Art, Biography, Politics, Theatre and Poetry are your thing, Churchmouse will likely have title to suit. If Recipes, Cooking and Home Décor ideas are what you’re after, Churchmouse won’t disappoint. There are too many other categories to list from Animals, Business, and Canadiana to Religion and Reference. Come out and have a look.
Churchmouse Books is run entirely by a dedicated group of volunteers who will be happy to help you find the perfect volume for your next read.
