Book and music shop opens in Stonehouse
THE Cotswold Canals Trust Charity Book and Music Shop has officially opened in Stonehouse.
Accompanied by town councillor Chris Brine, Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie cut the ribbon on September 24 to celebrate the opening.
She said: “The Cotswold Canals Trust is a fabulous local success story that shows how support from a community of volunteers can really make a change.”
The shop is a treasure trove of books, games and music. From Portland Oregon to Portland in Dorset, you’ll find a vast collection of travel books and eclectic items such as a German Second World War map of Gloucestershire.
Books in excellent or near- new condition range upwards from 50p. There is also a cosy corner with seating for children to browse and read.
Volunteer- run, all proceeds go towards restoring the Stroudwater Canal & Thames & Severn Canals. Anyone interested in volunteering can get in touch via its website at https:// cotswoldcanals.org/volunteer
