About Us

On the west coast of Newfoundland, The Bookshop NL was created to share a love of books with the community of Corner Brook. The lack of options and accessibility to purchase books and book-related gifts locally was noted and therefore, a passion for books turned into a need filled.

Meet Our Owner

Hi! Welcome to The Bookshop NL! I'm Jennifer Shepherd, a Registered Nurse, turned Stay-At-Home Mom, turned Entrepreneur. I'm so excited to bring this sweet little bookshop to life and get some amazing books and merchandise to fellow Newfoundlanders who are local to me and those living across Canada.

I'm an avid book reader, and I believe that book reading and shopping are two SEPARATE hobbies! You'll find some great books in the pre-loved section from both my personal collection and generous donors.

My favourite books to read are Romance and Fantasy! I love sharing my love for reading with my family and friends alike. Be sure to give us a follow on Instagram @thebookshopnl

Building Community

Finding unique books and gifts in Newfoundland can be a challenge. Our goal is to make these special items more accessible through our website, with the added convenience of local pickup.

We proudly support local entrepreneurs in our gift section, though some products are sourced from outside the province. Pricing is kept affordable to ensure that books and gifts are within reach for everyone.

Some of our books may have a small mark or stamp from the publisher, indicating they’re overstock or remaindered — never used, always in great condition, and offered at a lower price than new.

Your support means everything to us. Sharing our website, tagging us in your posts, and referring friends our way helps our small business thrive. And if you're looking for another way to give back, check out the Little Free Library in your area — a great spot to share and discover books for free.
