Situated in The Stables, the Friends second-hand Bookshop first opened its doors in March 2008 and has now become an established and valued visitor attraction, raising substantial funds for the Friends. The Bookshop carries a good stock of second-hand books covering many subjects and includes a large selection of collector’s books. The Friends rely on donations of all types of books which may be delivered and left at the Bookshop.
The Friends Bookshop is managed entirely by volunteers and is open seven days a week. If you enjoy books and meeting people you may wish to consider joining the Book Team. There is a very popular book borrowing scheme exclusively for Book Team members.
Would you like to volunteer in the bookshop? We would love to hear from you.
To become a Bookshop Team Member you must be a member of the Friends of Hylands House in order to be covered by our public liability insurance whilst you are on duty. There are also many more benefits of being a member! (There is an extra perk whilst volunteering in the Bookshop!)
