SAVE OUR BOOKSHOP
Our Bookshop has been a feature in Tring for just four and a half years. In that short time, apart from being a much loved asset in its own right, it has also become a focus for so many great things that happen in the town including the Tring Book Festival, the Tringe Festival in July and all the stand-alone events throughout the year. Not forgetting the vibrant schedule of author visits to schools across the region.
The lease for the ground floor retail space where Our Bookshop sits finishes in 18 months time. The danger of the shop having to close is very real. The ending of the lease for the property is what closes more bookshops in this country than anything else.
However we have been offered a lifeline that could ensure the shops future.

MAY BOOK OF THE MONTH
You Are Here : Signed Special Independent Version
DAVID NICHOLLS
Order now and join the author at the bookclub meeting in Early June with the author.
Marnie is stuck. Stuck working alone in her London flat, stuck battling the long afternoons and a life that often feels like it’s passing her by.
Michael is coming undone. Reeling from his wife’s departure, increasingly reclusive, taking himself on long, solitary walks across the moors and fells. When a persistent mutual friend and some very English weather conspire to bring them together, Marnie and Michael suddenly find themselves alone on the most epic of walks and on the precipice of a new friendship.
But can they survive the journey? A new love story by beloved bestseller David Nicholls, You Are Here is a novel of first encounters, second chances and finding the way home.
MAY CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE MONTH
Zohra Nabi
My own Yara, if you are reading this, then something terrible has happened, and you are on your own.
To return to the city of Zehaira, you must read out the words on the back of this letter . . .
Good luck, my brave girl. When Yara’s mother passes away, she leaves behind a letter and a strange set of instructions. Yara must travel from the home she has always known to a place that is not on any map – Zehaira, a world of sorcerers, alchemists and simmering magic.
But Zehaira is not the land it used to be. The practice of magic has been outlawed, the Sultan’s alchemists are plotting a sinister scheme and the answers Yara is searching for seem to be out of reach. Yara must summon all of her courage to discover the truth about her mother’s past and her own identity . . . and to find her place in this magical new world.
As well as the Tring Book Festival in November, we also host all kinds of literary events all year round including author interviews, book launches, children’s Storytelling and many other kinds of events.
