Rogan’s Books is a specialist independent children’s bookshop, and has brought hundreds of authors and illustrators to Bedford, bringing stories to life for families through events and activities. With a focus on child-centred LGBTQ+, activism, feminism, mental health, families, STEM and other issue-based titles, their aim is to enable every child to find themselves on the bookshelves. The bookshop runs the town’s annual children’s book festival, BookTastic, and has pioneered several community initiatives in the town.
