Mostly Books has won an award from publisher Pan Macmillan as part of its Macmillan 175 celebrations.

Mostly Books joins five other independent bookshops from across the country who will all receive £1,750 to launch a new and innovative project, focusing on community outreach or supporting new readers.

The Mostly Books team will be using the grant to help fund a mobile bookshop which will be used to take books to villages and towns and schools around Abingdon. The aim is to provide bookshop facilities for those who are less mobile and to also provide greater access to books for children and families in the local area.
