Brown Books
Brown Books is a second hand bookshop open for a year as part of a pilot project with Luton Literature CIC and Luton Community Arts Trust. As well as ebing a treasure trove of preloved books they run a number of literary events, storytelling sessions, book readings and signings, poetry events, book clubs and other children's activities. The space is intended to encourage a love of reading and creative writing at any age and to promote early take up of reading in young children.

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

Brown Books, Luton's only dedicated bookshop and literacy hub is dedicated to ensuring people of the town have access to books 📚

After a flood which destroyed the shop in Hightown, they moved temporarily into the shopping mall but with repairs now complete they just need some finishing touches to get things ready for the public again.

Before the books arrive and the shelves go up the walls need painting, so that is the task for today.

Limit of 4 people on this task since too many people and paint in a small space don't go together well!

How are you getting there?
