Liverpool’s Little Book Stop

Celebrate 90 years of Penguin at Liverpool’s Little Book Stop on the waterfront — pick up a story or swap one to share!

Bringing the joy of reading to Liverpool’s waterfront

We’re so excited to be part of Penguin’s 90th anniversary celebrations! To mark 90 years of reading moments, 90 Little Book Stops are being installed across the UK – and Liverpool is home to one of them.

Our Little Book Stop, found on Liverpool’s iconic waterfront in front of the Museum of Liverpool, is a community bookshelf – a place where stories live right in the heart of the neighbourhood. You can take a book, leave a book, or simply stop by and discover something new. From children’s favourites to page-turning novels, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Liverpool’s Little Book Stop is cared for by Liverpool BID, we’ll be keeping it tidy and brimming with reads for all ages. So whether you’re on your lunch break, wandering through the city, or simply in need of your next great book – come and visit us, swap a story, and be part of Liverpool’s love of reading.

Share your reading journey!

We would love to share the journey of the books picked up at our waterfront book stop – if you take a book, please tag us in your reading pictures @liverpoolbidcompany so we can all follow along together!
