Bookends is a well-established independent, family-owned bookshop in Keswick. We might look small, but we're jam-packed full of  books, so much so that  we extend our sales area into the lovely courtyard outside the shop

.

We  love being part of the Keswick community and  have pop-up shops at the Keswick Museum and Theatre by the Lake.  Every March, we are the official booksellers for the prestigious Words by the Water book festival.

Whether you live locally or are just visiting, don't forget our sister shops Bookends and Bookcase in Carlisle for an eclectic range of new, second-hand and antiquarian books, sheet music, vinyl & classical CDs.  Find out more with our Linktree list https://linktr.ee/bookscumbria

But here on this website,you'll find a wealth of books, and your purchase will help support both us and other indie bookshops around the country. If you do want to see a greater range of specifically Cumbrian books ( about 1500 titles!), have a look on our own website at  https://bookscumbria.com 

Happy reading!

The Bookends Team
