Our opening hours for December!
Lockdown is over as of Wednesday 2nd December! Hooray!

In the poster above you’ll see our complete opening hours taking us into Xmas and the New Year.
We are looking forward to seeing you again over the festive period, but understand that many of you are still feeling cautious. If that’s you - that’s ok! If you’re feeling confident, please continue to be respectful of your fellow shoppers - we are proud of the safe and happy place we’ve built at October Books where everyone can feel at home.
If you have downloaded the NHS App to your smartphone, don’t forget to scan the QR code at the door when you enter, and of course keep sanitising those hands and wearing a face covering when you come in.
If stepping out is not for you, did you know you can order books from us and have them delivered directly to your door? Oh yes you can - visit our storefront at Bookshop.org! A hefty percentage of your sale via this platform goes to us here at OB, so you will have shopped locally and independently from the comfort of your home - pretty cool huh?( And you’ll have avoided Amaz*n too - excellent work.)
If you’d like to order an item to collect from the shop - you can click and collect!
If you’re feeling flush, please consider adding a food bank donation when you shop with us here at October Books. This can be done in person, or when you order online. Xmas will be a challenging time for many people this year, and the smallest contribution will make a huge difference to the recipient. Ask a team member if you’d like suggestions of what to purchase, and we’ll drop your purchase into Basics Bank first thing on Monday morning.
We are looking forward to seeing you (and hearing from you) throughout December :) and wish you all the very best during this strangest of festive periods.
Love from the OB Team xx
