“My favourite book shop! Don't let the size of this little shop deceive you - I've never walked out with less than 6 books. On my last visit a few weeks ago, they had a copy of Fourth Wing in paperback - you won't even find a copy of Fourth Wing in the biggest bookshops it's sold out everywhere. I danced out the door with it under my arm!

A fantastic selection and the staff are absolutely lovely - they always remember you when you go in. My favourite part is the recommendations shelf, where the staff put books they'd recommend for you to browse. An absolute gem in Carrick on Shannon”

“I've been here a few times now and it is such a fabulous little book shop! Although, not the biggest shop, it makes up for it by having a large selection of books which make for an excellent collection to peruse. I bought 3 lovely books in here the other day and had one of them giftwrapped by a very friendly staff member 😁 I look forward to returning the next time that I'm in Carrick!”

“Excellent range for a relatively small independent bookshop. Such a shame that we are only passing through Carrick on holiday - if we lived here, I could definitely see myself popping in once a month. Particularly impressed by the range of children’s books.”

“The Reading Room is a lovely shop. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming. A ray of books on the shelves to choose from. Staff will recommend a good read once they are aware of authors that you like.”

“Always interesting new books, for example the one I bought about the revival of the Irish language. There were half a dozen others I would have liked if my time and financial budgets permitted.”
