Free Books For Children On Small Business Saturday

Bookshop owner Marie Telford is hoping that shoppers will once again take advantage of the free parking offer across the whole of Havant Borough during Small Business Saturday on Saturday December 5th. The Hayling Island Bookshop have large stocks left of the special “short story” books produced each year for World Book Day and will be giving them away, while stocks last, to children who visit the Bookshop on the 5th. They will also have up to 20% off all books purchased in the store that day and free €œBooks Are My Bag€ canvas bags with purchases over £20.

Marie who owns The Hayling Island Bookshop had successfully lobbied Havant Council in 2013 to allow free parking for the first ever UK Small Business Saturday which resulted in increased footfall in Borough shopping areas. In 2015, Havant Borough Council has once again agreed to three hours free parking across their Car Parks in the whole Borough which is a great incentive to customers and businesses to shop with their local small businesses.
