Welcome to Books At One
Books at One is a collective of locally managed community bookshops. We are a social enterprise ,investing profits in fostering a love of reading for learning, pleasure and connection.
Our bookshops act as social and creative hubs, offering a welcoming, comfortable space where people of all ages come together through a shared love of reading.
We offer a wide range of accessible and diverse literature and believe there is a book for everyone regardless of economic , educational or social status.
By working collaboratively with local businesses, schools and voluntary organisations we give local people an opportunity and a reason to shop locally for books. We operate in areas of social disadvantage or rural isolation , providing employment , work experience and value added volunteering opportunities.
Our first community bookshop was established in Louisburgh, Co. Mayo in 2016, followed by Books At One in Letterfrack, Co. Galway in 2020.
