An enormous warehouse/barn...full of books!! Opened in March 2004, as a sister to the Country Bookbarn at White Cross (see 'facilities'). As usual, the only 'shop' I know where you have to zip your jacket UP when u walk in; it can be freezing in there!
The Bristol Bookbarn is situated on the Central Trading Estate (1 mile from Temple Meads station) just off the A4 Bath Road, close to the Arno's Vale Cemetery.
Seems bigger than the Country Bookbarn at first, but actually is probably smaller. One good thing is that the shelves aren't as high, so looking is easier. But not all the shelves are full, so does seem to have a lot less books. Has archaeology section but didn't seem as good the other Bookbarn.
Note - not a library! Best category I could think of. Not easy to find Internet info about this - it is obviously a hidden gem! Website does now work and is useful. |
