A book shop is starting a new chapter in Ironbridge after expanding into new premises.

Book Nook has opened its doors at 4, The Square after receiving a business start-up grant through Telford & Wrekin Council’s Pride in Our High Street programme.

Owner Meg Prince already runs The Ironbridge Bookshop next door to the unit and has seized the opportunity to grow her business offer.

Meg has researched into what customers want and has converted Book Nook into a dedicated space for events such as author days, poetry sessions and children’s reading times.

Experiences will include hobby sessions, craft workshops, table top gaming (which is very popular and not offered locally), board game events, literacy sessions and reading workshops.

The second-hand book market is expected to continue to grow and Megan is hoping to attract people from far and wide and drive more footfall to Ironbridge.

As well as offering a full range of fiction and non-fiction titles, Meg is also very experienced at identifying educational books and sources books from different outlets across the UK.
