Tucked away in Wynnum is the much-adored bookshop and cafe, Little Gnome. Stocking a range of books from a variety of genres and traditional and independent publishers, Little Gnome specialises in Australian works, with a considerable selection of work from Bayside authors. Those looking to settle in with a book can do so with a cup of Montville coffee, biscuits and or a delicious milkshake, chai or hot chocolate. Aspiring authors can attend self-publishing and social media workshops held in-store, while readers can catch authors for book signings and monthly book clubs.
