Saturday August 11th was
National Bookshop Day 2012, a
day that celebrates
bookshops all across Australia and their important place in our communities. Shearer’s
celebrated with a
day of childhood nostalgia, and kid’s classic stories. The decorations in shop were inspired by children’s stories
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett,
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, and
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Throughout the
day authors, customer and staff read out loud from the classic story
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
Australian authors Deb Abela, Michelle Cooper, L. A. Larkin, Chris Morphew and Frances Watts all be visited the shop, signed books and read to the kids.
During
National Bookshop Day Shearer’s planned lots of games, activities, and a dress up competition.
