We accept cash & all major cards in-store and hope to have Shopify and PayPal set up on our website, once our stock is live. We also accept National Book Tokens.

Shipping

Book Subscriptions

Once the service is live, you will receive one new, exciting title each month, conveniently delivered to your chosen address. 

While the monthly subscription cost is currently to be confirmed, we are working hard to ensure it offers great value for our community.

Our plan is to focus on genre-based books for adults (think monthly themes) and age-based books for children.

The adult subscription will be set but we will offer a number of age-based subscriptions for children.

We plan to offer month-to-month, 6-month, or 12-month packages, and of course discounts for longer commitments.

We plan to offer two options:

  1. Delivered to you chosen address
  2. Local pickup at the bookshop

Each book will be shipped at the end of each month, for the following month.

We can offer a swap or voucher (at the cost of the book), if a subscriber receives a title they have already read.

Please note that our 5 day returns policy will apply.

Book Club

Initially, there will be one Greenwood Chapter Book Club. Although we are always open to new ideas and suggestions.

Book Club meetings will be held in the bookshop. We operate on a ‘drop-in’ basis, so you can join us whenever your schedule allows. Our refreshment bar will be open throughout the meeting for any purchases.

We will select the book for our first Book Club meeting. Moving forward, the selection process will be a collaborative effort: members will be encouraged to nominate titles, and our attendees will vote to choose our upcoming books.

We were thinking a monthly meet but are open to suggestions and recommendations.

Greenwood Chapter is about creating a relaxed environment for our customers, so we promote the Book Club as a casual, social get-together. That being said, if attendees want more structure, we can adapt!
