During these days of social distancing and self-isolation, many of us will be reaching for a good read. And while independent bookshops across Wales may have temporarily closed their doors in line with official guidelines, the good news is that many are still offering postal and online services.

We’ve pulled together as much detail as we can on this page and will update the list as we receive new information. As this is a fast-moving situation, we may not always have the most recent and up to date information so do check with your local bookshop.
