One day, while walking to the shop, I paused at the Lowman bridge to admire the new ducklings and drifted into a daydream. In that fleeting moment, a little voice in my head began to chant, "Library, build a library." I couldn't shake the thought all morning, analysing its meaning, only to realise it was a simple yet profound instruction.

Books are expensive these days, and one can never have too many. I've often bought books for just a few pages or found that although they were interesting, they weren't exactly what I was looking for. This got me thinking about how we could address this in our shop.

Following that clear directive, we're excited to announce the opening of our very own small Witchy and Spiritual Library for our like-minded local community. This will be a safe, relaxing place to conduct research over a cup of coffee or witch's brew, or to check out a book for private reading.

To bring this vision to life, we're seeking book donations. If you have any books gathering dust that you'd like to share with the community, please drop them off at the shop or message us for local collection. If you're further away, we'll gladly cover the postage costs. I'll be donating a third of my personal library to kick things off.

Additionally, we'll be offering a second-hand bookshelf stocked with witchy and spiritual books for sale.

Now to find a space in the shop to put it!
