Readings Kids

About Readings Kids

Readings Kids is a speciality children’s and young adult bookshop that is home to books, games and more for kids and teens, and welcomes families and people of all ages who enjoy children’s and young adult literature.

Located in a building that was originally dreamed up by Melbourne architect Daryl Jackson, this shop is a light-filled and welcoming space. The gorgeous open-plan design from Nest Architecture is both playful and practical, and one wall features a stunning mural from children’s book illustrator and author Marc Martin.

Readings Kids Story Time

These weekly free sessions run every Sunday, from 10.30am to 11.00am, and are suitable for children aged 0-8 years. We ask that parents please stay with their children for the duration of the reading.

Accessibility

During trading hours, the front door is always open and the shop is accessible for people whose mobility is impaired and wheelchair users. Clear signage can be found throughout the shop, and there is a wide main aisle for easy browsing of central shelves. Some shelving along the edge of the shop may be more difficult to access via wheelchair. There are no steps within the shop.

If you have any difficulties moving around the shop, encounter hard-to-reach titles, or require a pen and paper to communicate, staff members are always on hand to help.

There is seating available on a chair near the front door.

If you have any specific questions regarding accessibility, please contact the shop directly.
