Welcome to The Page and Prose Booksellers
Nestled in the heart of Geraldine - South Canterbury, our independent bookshop is the destination for literary adventures and creative discoveries. Our carefully curated collection reflects the rich tapestry of stories from rural New Zealand to the cobblestone streets of Europe and the diverse landscapes of the Americas.
Our Story
After years of serving our community as both a bookshop and post office, we're embarking on an exciting new chapter. In November 2024, we expanded our literary space, allowing us to create even more magical moments for our book-loving community. While our postal services have found a new home across the road, our dedication to connecting people through stories has only grown stronger.
What We Offer
- A thoughtfully selected range of books for readers of all ages
- Charming stationery that invites creativity
- Delightful jigsaws for quiet evening entertainment
- Regular book clubs and literary seminars
- Special events including our beloved Waiata in the Woolshed series
- A cosy corner for literary discussions and community gatherings
With degrees in literature and experience in libraries worldwide, Belinda brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our little bookshop. Her expertise shines through our carefully crafted book clubs and literary seminars, which run throughout the year.
Our Community
We believe bookshops are more than just retail spaces—they're gathering places where stories come alive and communities grow stronger. Whether you're seeking your next literary companion, joining our monthly book club, or simply stopping by for a bookish chat, you'll find a warm welcome here.
Visit Us
We'd be happy to help you discover your next favourite read or the perfect creative inspiration. Pop in for a visit and let's share in the joy of stories together.
"There is no limit to what we can create at the bookshop." - Belinda
