Independent Bookshop of the Year

That the Parliament commends The Book Nook in Stewarton, East Ayrshire, on being honoured as Independent Bookshop of the Year for Scotland, at The British Book Awards 2024; understands that the bookshop owner, Sarah Frame, was shocked to win as she was shortlisted twice before in 2021 and 2022; notes that Sarah runs a jam-packed calendar full of free events, such as book clubs for all ages where you will get a free drink and author signings, which keeps the community support thriving; considers that the wonderful work that Sarah does to engage adults and children of all ages in reading is a truly wonderful achievement, and sends a massive well done to The Book Nook.
