A second-hand bookshop in Clevedon is reopening under new ownership today, after local residents pitched in to save it.

The store in Copse Road was due to shut because it's owner retired - so The Clevedon Community Bookshop Co-operative was formed, and over two hundred and fifty people bought shares to help raise the twenty thousand pounds needed to relaunch it.

Volunteers have been working to get the shop ready, and the shop currently has about seven thousand titles in stock.
