Remembering Phil Collins - 31st July 1944 to 16th May 2024

We would like to invite anyone who knew Phil Collins, an October Books cooperative founder, supporter and friend, to a gathering at the shop to remember and celebrate his life. We will come together on Friday 12th July between 6 and 8pm in the October Books community space to share stories and photos of Phil and hopefully hear some of his favourite jazz music. If you have a story you would like to share or a picture of Phil you would like to bring along please drop Clare a line at clare@octoberbooks.org

Our Work with Schools

October Books have wonderful partnerships with local Southampton schools and some beyond the city boundary.  These connections are particularly important to us as we wish to help inspire children in the wonder of reading and all the riches gained. Click on article find out more.
