The store, which opened in 2018, runs workshops, storytelling sessions and school outreach projects.
Its owners say the store specialises in “promoting equity and inclusion” within children’s literature, and aims to ensure “every child has access to books that enable them to feel seen, reflected, respected and valued.”
The majority of the £40,000 target is required to cover rent, business rates and other overheads, according to the store’s website.
The rest will go towards running free in-store events and a monthly book club.
