I'm very much looking forward to giving this #public #lecture at CCCU in #Canterbury on Wednesday 26 November. All very welcome - book your free place via the link: www.canterbury.ac.uk/events/2025/... @cccubookshop.bsky.social #history #book #event #free

Graduations are such a happy-sad time as we are #cccuproud of our new graduates & we also say goodbye to all our #cccu teddy bear friends. A BIG thank you to our #ccculibrary colleagues for their support at #cccugraduation time & GOOD LUCK to good friends we have met along the way!

Yesterday, the last bookseller left the building. Amid so many sad farewells at cccu, we say goodbye and good luck, and a massive heartfelt thanks to Jake, our Unitemp bookseller for his past 8 years of service. In the immortal words of Douglas Adams, “so long, and thanks for all the fish.”

We close for the summer this Friday for the first time ever - so make the most of our last week! We have BOGOF novels; 50% healthcare textbook sale; & just £8 for a CCCU t-shirt. Until we return on 1 Sept, we bid you all a temporary farewell. Details online. #SupportYourCampusBookshop
