New Children’s Bookshop Hits Town

 
Given the healthy life of Fenella and co over the past three decades, it’s clear that Greystonians love their books.

And it’s the young ‘uns who truly love, cherish and obey the written word, escaping into other worlds, where the possibilities – and the thrills – seem endless.

Having just secured the La Touche Place HQ that housed Paraphernalia for 29 years, Trish Hennessy is bringing a brand new children’s bookshop, Halfway Up The Stairs, to the town in October.

Over to Trish…

I am delighted to announce that Halfway Up The Stairs, a new children’s bookshop, is coming soon to Greystones! The shop will be a celebration of children’s literature, both Irish and international, and will also stock delightful toys and gifts for children. It will be a warm and inclusive environment, welcoming children, parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles, godparents, teachers and anyone buying for a child.

I come from a bookselling background, and I have a lifelong passion for children’s books. I believe they open up a world of imagination and delight for children of all ages. I look forward to sharing personalised recommendations for any occasion – the very best bedtime stories to lull the little ones to sleep, inspiring adventure stories, and books to excite even the most reluctant of readers, as well as books to help children navigate through difficult times.

We’ll cater for teenagers too, with a range of the latest and most compelling teen and young adult titles to keep them reading late into the night. As well as a comprehensive book selection for all ages, we will also have high quality wooden toys, soft teddies, and games and puzzles, to help you find the perfect gift for birthday parties and all those special occasions, and to suit all budgets.

I look forward to opening my doors in mid-October, and welcoming you into this new children’s space. This has been a dream of mine for many years, and I am so excited to see it fulfilled!
