Pages of Hackney

This was a really lovely, local, independent bookshop located in Hackney. The shop seemed to have a brilliant range of books on offer. In the centre of the shop was a seasonal display which they keep updated and this had a really good selection of books when I visited too. The staff member there on the day was really friendly and helpful. I was left to browse by myself when I wanted to and she was very happy to help me when I talked about books with her. There was also a “Pay it Forward” scheme being used, which I loved. It’s a scheme that everyone can contribute to. You can add as much as you want to the cost of what you’re buying that day. You then are given a slip with the amount you’ve contributed and can add it onto the board. Those that need the support are then able to come in and use the slips that are posted on the board to help cover the cost of their purchases.
