Urso de Óculos

Besides the fact that many of you already make excellent use of our café to meet up with friends, play Scrabble or chess, or just as a place to chill out with an incredible view, we now also offer a space for you to hold more formal meetings.

The new Bookable area is inside the shop itself, and as it is separate from the café area, it can be used for more formal discussions, workshops or clubs.

Since the beginning of June, the space has been used for various meetings, including a Danish travel group’s Brazil itinerary planning meeting, a Portuguese-English language exchange, and a question and answer session about Carbon Neutral Tourism by journalists from Spain’s Yo Dona magazine [pictured].

The space can be reserved free of charge for culturally relevant activities. Some of the things YOU could use this space for are:

• a monthly book club

• a language club

• a writing group

• an author book-signing evening

• a workshop, presentation, seminar or discussion

If you want to use the space, please let us know about your idea, and what day of the week/one-off date you are interested in.

We’re open to considering any idea, providing we think it is feasible for the space and culturally relevant. The space is open to adult groups only for the time being.

Your meeting can take place within bookshop opening hours, any day except Thursdays.

You can get in touch via this site or come and chat to Sarah on a Thursday evening (8pm to 10pm. Please note that there will be no Literary Thursdays on the 2nd and the 9th of July).

And if you’re not in Itacaré, What would YOU use a bookshop meeting space for? Let us know in the comments below.
