Hannah Limming, Lou Fenton and Cheryl Duffield founded The Little Bookshop in the north Leeds suburb of Chapel Allerton in 2017 – and on their sixth anniversary have confirmed they have secured new premises in the market town of Skipton. Their concept originated as a children’s store with a cafe, but over the years the Chapel Allerton shop has evolved and adapted to meet customer demands and tastes, and now has an adult section.
” The existing branch is renowned for its passionate and knowledgeable staff, and Hannah hopes The Little Bookshop can foster a similar sense of literary community in Skipton. 'We’re a shop for everyone, and we pride ourselves on our knowledge. We can recommend books, and we’ve grown with what our customers want. We learned what we were missing, and now our customers guide our stock.
