Oxfam Books & Music Harrogate

We hope all our customers and volunteers are well and staying safe 💚 Though we're sad that we can't share our eclectic collection of second-hand books with you at the moment, this is a great opportunity to rediscover your own bookshelf! How better to spend self-isolation than re-disovering books that have been sat forgotten, or re-reading old favourites. Happy reading from Oxfam Bookshop Harrogate!

We have iron bars on our bathroom window at Oxfam Books Harrogate. It used to seem a bit excessive. But now....

Happy World Poetry Day! What's the most eco-friendly way to travel the world? Read some fab poetry from writers such as Ben Okri, the Nigerian born poetry icon, or Rabindranath Tagore, the father of Bengali poetry

We are sorry to say that Oxfam Bookshop Harrogate will be closing its doors from Saturday to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy during this coronavirus outbreak.
Whilst we’re gutted not to be able to stay open and chat to you all, we’re hoping to be able to run an online shop and local delivery service through Facebook! What better way to spend your self-isolation than with some second-hand books and music? More details will follow shortly…
You can also still support O...xfam’s amazing work by buying books (and other goodies!) through Oxfam online: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop

Happy World Book Day from everyone at Oxfam Bookshop Harrogate! To celebrate, we'd love to hear what book changed how you thought about something, or introduced a new idea or perspective to you 📖

Introducing our Fab Friday Finds! Each week we’ll uncover a quirky gem that has been donated, or share something we’d love to dip in to over the weekend. Our first Find is this Faber Book of Beasts, a collection of animal poems selected by Paul Muldoon that is being jealously guarding by this tiger

Ooh! We've just discovered we have reviews on Google. They are FAB of course and none of the reviewers are relatives even.
