Ever wonder what it’s actually like to "walk a mile in someone else’s shoes"? Reading books about people with completely different life experiences is the ultimate backstage pass to the world. It’s more than just a good story—it’s a masterclass in building empathy and seeing the world through a whole new lens. With our new display you can dive into someone else's reality, witness their resilience, and return with a pocketful of fresh perspectives and deep compassion.

Are you taking part in our Winter Quest? One of the activities is to go on a "welly walk". Why not borrow one of our Nature Backpacks and enjoy some time in nature while completing this activity. Our Nature Backpacks are free to borrow (we just need a £10 cash returnable deposit) & are full of resources & activities to use outdoors. If your little one is not already signed up for the Winter Quest, pop in and ask a member of staff for more details.
