At Edgars Books and News, we’ll help you escape the everyday with an exciting range of quality literature to spark your imagination.
Edgars has been a community destination since 1939 with a proud history of being family owned and operated by locals. Starting with the Edgars family, and then the Whinray and Rosenow families, and now the Long families.
Edgars has always been committed to serving the community and customers. To do this, we are constantly working to understand and deliver to the changing, unique and individual needs of the local community. This means we can always remain of service because we genuinely care about what we do and who we serve.
Our book shop has an extensive collection that caters for all ages and includes:
In our newsagency section, we stock:
Liz – “I bought a bookstore so I didn’t have to look for a new employer… and I read A LOT of books”
Tim – “The grumpy newspaper guy… AKA Scooter-Man on our socials”
Bernie – “I do stuff with money… and I have a whistle for when Tim and Liz get a bit ‘excitable’ in their discussions”
Belinda – “I love to touch all the books… not in a creepy way… well it’s kind of creepy, but I just love books… and I make funny videos”
Maria – “I keep things entertaining during school holidays”
Ava – “They keep me around because I make an awesome cup of tea and I wash the dishes”
Rachel – “I’ll be returning to the team in 2025”
James – “My parents make me work here”
Marcello – “Ditto to what James said – at least they pay us”
Daz (and the other newspaper lads) – “We’re like mushrooms – we do our work in the dark but that’s the way we like it!”
Sarah – “I’m working here until I go to uni in 2025”
