stuff you want to know
What the hell is it that you actually do? Are you a library, a shop or what the?
My Little Bookshop is exactly as the name suggests. A shop, or some people prefer to say store. A place of conversing, transacting and trading so everyone comes out a winner. A range of fiction, non fiction, children's and quirky categories for all to peruse and snaffle a good deal.
What's with the wheels?
Ah yes my friends, My Little Bookshop is on wheels. Audrey the large caravan goes out and about on country road trips, big festival weekends and anywhere her larger butt will logistically fit. Juggernaut Joe, the smaller and more delicate of the vans is the mid week run around that fits anywhere slightly bigger than a postage stamp. Another chapter for our business is the addition of a third van Cruising Casey, taking it to the streets and schools of WA creating even more joy for book lovers.
Do you promote local authors?
We are proud to say that My Little Bookshop promotes and stocks a large range of Western Australian and Australian authors. One of our main aims is to showcase what marvelous talent we have locally. A lot of the "major" bookshops will not stock self published authors, so we feel a bit chuffed that we can help our local authors get some exposure for their stories. Check out the Australian and Western Australian authors category in the online shop for details.
Bookclubs
If you run your own bookclub then we can offer a 10% discount on all sets purchased. If you would like advice on any titles or recommendations then give us a holler. We are passionate about your reading life and the fantastic communities they create.
Where do you find your range of books.
We source our books from all different publishers, from the majors to the smaller unique individual publishers. Of course we have an affinity with local publishers. They go above and beyond in promoting some seriously wonderful writing talent here in Western Australia. Serenity Press is one of these impressive publishers. We stock a range of kids books that are best sellers for us and the bottom line, they are a company that we love to do business with, we align on so many levels.
New books/used books what's the deal?
There is a mix of both to keep all customers happy. All the pre-loved books are in excellent condition, no dog ears or a message from Aunty Shirley saying Merry Christmas 1984. The online shop has a note at the bottom of the description to advise if its pre-loved and if any slight wear. Please note we do take book donations ( not for payment ) and you will be happy to know that by sharing the love of books around, any funds made from pre-loved books goes straight to Story Dogs who we sponsor. Kids literacy is the big winner and in turn it is a win for us all.
Schools and Educational Centres
Our kids have such wonderful imaginations and here in our bookshop we love to keep that spirit alive. They don't come into a system with embedded beliefs and biases, its learned behaviours. My Little Bookshop is a big advocate of encouraging tolerance, acceptance, kindness and being in a world where we can all live in peace. It may seem a big ask, in a world that is bombarded 24/7 with tech and information overload, however we are doing our bit, one step at a time, by stocking a range of books on the topics and issues of today. Check out our educational category to find books to encourage the amazing kids you teach every day.
What's your delivery processes with the online shop?
**FREE DELIVERY IN THE PERTH METRO AREA **
The shipping rate to post in Australia is $10 on the first book, $3 per book there after. Free shipping for orders over $70. At this point in the business we utilise Australia Post and this can be tracked. Shipping/postage usually occurs within 3/4 days of order being placed. We are big fans of recycling and as such if you have ordered a large quantity of books, we will reuse the boxes our suppliers send us. Do not fret that its not the glam look on the outside but be thrilled that inside is the true jewel you have been waiting for and our earth will thank us for it. Alas, not being a global domination force, I'm sure your understanding of supporting local business will shine through as we all support our local communities.
