The Book Nook Stirling

24 Upper Craigs, Stirling FK8 2DG, Stirling, Stirling

The Book Nook is an independent bookshop and café on Upper Craigs in Stirling, opened by Leanne and Jasmine in September 2020. It combines new and second-hand books with an informal space for reading, studying, meeting friends and playing board games. Dogs are welcome too. The shop carries staff recommendations, Scottish fiction, picture books and other titles, and can source books for customers or arrange collection. New books are also available through its Bookshop.org partnership. Book donations are accepted, and several book clubs meet each month as part of its wider community activity. The café serves toasted bagel sandwiches, bagels with spreads and homemade cakes, with vegetarian and vegan options. Its speciality coffee comes from Girls Who Grind. Comfortable chairs, warm lighting and shelves of books reflect the owners' aim to create an inclusive place for Stirling residents and visitors to spend time.
