Newham Bookshop is proud to support the National Year of Reading 2026

Newham Bookshop starts its 48th year of trading at the start of the National Year of Reading 2026. One of the key aims of the Bookshop is to promote reading and the love of books, and we have been doing this in Newham since 1978. We will continue to work with schools, libraries and many other organisations to bring the pleasure of reading books to everyone.
