A New Chapter at EBV: The Little Bookroom Opens in East Brunswick Village

There’s something magical about walking into a bookshop. The smell of fresh pages, the colours of beautifully illustrated covers, and the promise of stories waiting to be discovered. This October, East Brunswick Village (EBV) will welcome one of Melbourne’s most cherished cultural icons: The Little Bookroom.

Melbourne’s Beloved Children’s Bookstore

Founded in 1960, The Little Bookroom is Australia’s first bookstore dedicated exclusively to children’s literature. For over 60 years, it has nurtured young readers, championed Australian authors and illustrators, and created a home for families who believe in the joy of books. From timeless picture books to contemporary stories for young adults, every title on its shelves is carefully chosen to spark imagination.

Now, this much-loved bookstore is opening a new chapter at EBV – bringing its legacy of storytelling to Brunswick East.

Why East Brunswick Village?

EBV is more than just a place to live – it’s a vibrant, sustainable, and community-minded village. With its leafy streets, green rooftops, and locally owned businesses, it’s the perfect setting for The Little Bookroom’s next home. The addition of a dedicated children’s bookstore will make EBV an even more family-friendly destination, giving parents, grandparents, and kids a place to explore together.

What to Expect

  • Visitors can look forward to:
  • A curated range of children’s books – While The Little Bookroom is passionate about children’s books, they can order any book beyond the shelves of children’s treasures.
  • A welcoming space for families, with reading nooks and places to linger.
  • Events and activities including author signings, illustrator workshops, and weekend storytimes.
  • Support for schools and libraries, continuing The Little Bookroom’s proud tradition of educational partnerships.
