About Us
- The Little Bookroom
- The Little Bookroom opened its doors to the public on Friday the 13th October, 1960, the first bookstore in Australia to stock only children's books. The shop is named for a collection of stories by Eleanor Farjeon who wrote "I am proud and happy to know you've chosen the title of my book for the title of your Bookshop in the City my Father first set foot in the 1850s when he emigrated to Australia as a boy of 16. The stories he told me of his arrival in Melbourne have always made it seem to be one of 'my' cities. Thankyou for giving me a home in it". The Little Bookroom's logo also comes from its award-winning namesake - it is a treasured example of Edward Ardizzone's ink illustration. The Little Bookroom is now located at 759 Nicholson St with Albert’s original shelves, and has a city outpost at 5 Degraves St, Melbourne (doors opened in Feb 2011).
