Message from Booka Bookshop, Oswestry.
Welcome to Mindful May at Booka!
As a result of the last couple of years we've been reflecting on our 'purpose' and re-examining who we are and what we do. Experiential bookselling is embedded in the Booka DNA. We don't rely on algorithms, we are here and present for you – a physical bookshop with a very human face.
We want our customers to enjoy the 'Booka-sperience' and so all our ideas have come together and we have a multi-sensory programme of events for a 'Mindful May' at Booka.
We have events for all ages, we have events to suit everyone. We have free events, low- cost events and events that are more expensive because they are packaged up with a range of activities that allow our readers to experience books and the bookshop in different ways.
