Secondhand September at October Books: Embrace Sustainability with Us

As part of Secondhand September, we’re shining a spotlight on all things sustainable—and there’s plenty to get involved with at October Books!

If you love preloved books, you’ll find a fantastic selection of secondhand titles in our shop. From fiction to academic texts, we stock a wide range of gently used books at affordable prices, giving you a chance to build your collection while reducing waste.

But we’re not stopping there. Our refill station offers a convenient and eco-friendly way to top up your essentials like shampoo, shower gel, and household cleaners. Just bring your empty containers, and refill as much or as little as you need—cutting down on plastic waste one bottle at a time.

Finally, keep an eye out for our upcoming We Can Make… events. These workshops focus on recycling and upcycling, teaching you practical skills to repair, reuse, and reinvent everyday items. From crafting to DIY fixes, we’ll show you how to make the most of what you already have, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Join us this Secondhand September as we celebrate small changes that make a big difference. Let's work together for a greener, more sustainable future!
