Purpose

The Little Book Shed is a registered charity (1215179) providing books from babies to early teens in a purpose-built shed in Colchester, CO4 5XT. 

The charity's purpose is to advance education by improving literacy and reading for pleasure for children and young people through a free community library book shed. 

We engage with the local community through social media, live storytelling events and word of mouth. 

We receive donations of books, which we are extremely grateful for. These are then checked, catalogued and sorted into the shed.

Once books are inside, they can be borrowed and returned from the shed for free during our opening hours.
