Celebrating our bookshops

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 10 October 2025

Tomorrow is national bookshop day and given that a number of bookshops have had to close their doors this year, we think bookshops need some celebrating.

Independent booksellers around the country are hosting events, fancy dress parties, give aways, sales and in at least one shop book themed tattoos.

I'm joined now by manager of Time Out Books in Mt Eden Jenna Todd.
