The Norfolk Children’s Book Centre is an award-winning independent children’s bookshop and school book supplier. It currently stocks over 15,000 titles at its premises in Hoveton, near Norwich. Online purchasing is also available via the NCBC Bookshop.org page.

The team at the Norfolk Children’s Book Centre is made up of children’s book experts who review and select the best books from over 70 publishers. Additional services for schools include:

• Book approval selections: A collection of hand-picked books based on your chosen topic, age range and budget sent to your school. Any books that you do not wish to keep can be returned free of charge and you will only be invoiced for the titles that you keep. Ideal for schools that are not able to visit the Book Centre in person.
• School library support: The NCBC can provide an evaluation of your library provision and recommendations for improvements, such as updates to the book stock or suggestions on layout or shelving options. Any new books will be supplied with jackets and letter labels for fiction titles, or Dewey-classifications for non-fiction titles.
• Recommended booklists for selected topics.

Cost: Varied. Schools receive a 10% discount on the published price and free delivery on all purchases.
