Events at The Little Shelf

Come for the books.
Stay for the stories.

From author readings and book signings to small gatherings with independent writers, this is where we'll share what's happening at our little Rutherglen bookshop.

Coming up

Our first date for your diary.

We'll announce events featuring independent authors based in or connected to Scotland or Ireland here once their dates and details are confirmed. In the meantime, we'd love to welcome you when the bookshop first opens.

What's next? Author talks, readings, signings and other get-togethers will appear here as they're arranged. We won't list dates until we've confirmed them.

For independent writers & readers

A little space to come together.

We hope The Little Shelf will become somewhere readers can discover their next favourite story and meet the independent people who write them.

If you're an independent, self-published author interested in a future reading or signing, we'd love to hear your ideas once our contact address is active.
