Little Book Nook Owner-Manager Kay Nixon loves to find the right book for the right person.

Business Feature: The Little Book Nook

If you haven’t found this hidden gem in Palmwoods then you have missed out on an enchanting experience.

Tucked up The Lane off Little Main Street is a Bookshop that shares its courtyard with the popular Home Grown Cafe. It is surrounded with gardens for people to relax in and has a great range of books for all ages.

Owner-Manager Kay Nixon has worked in bookshops most of her adult life in Australia and the UK and particularly loves storytelling with children. “There is a little magic in here with flying books and an assortment of book-related knickknacks around the shop,” said Kay. “It has even been featured in a short fantasy film recently called ‘Unbinding Souls’.

Kay loves to find the right book for the right person and sees it as an extension of her involvement in the community where many know her through the Community Garden.

With children’s Book Week coming up from 16-23 August there will be activities for the children with giveaways. “Bring them along to hunt for the clues about their favourite book characters.”
