Absolutely. We offer free local pickup by appointment only on weekdays. Our pick-up address is located on 22-36 Mountain St, Ultimo, 3 minutes walk from Broadway Shopping Centre.

As a small business, we generally don't provide refunds or returns, particularly if the book has already been wrapped or packed for dispatch. If your concern relates to shipping to a regional area, please refer to our Shipping Policy for more information, as exceptions may apply in that case.

If there's another issue with your order, please contact us via email so we can do our best to help you out!

Once you purchase the card online, you will be sent an email with a code. Use the gift card code when you are checking out.

No worries! All gift card purchases are recorded, so just send us an email and we'll resend your code.

All books offered at Little Modern Reader are preloved unless otherwise stated, so the condition varies from good to excellent. 

We do! If you have picture books that you need to clear out or your kids have outgrown, please get in touch via email with details of your donation. Please read the condition guide outlined on our Donation page as well as take a look at our current collection to see if your books may be suitable for our store. 

By buying secondhand, you are saving books from landfill, reducing your carbon footprint by buying from existing resources, and cutting down the use of paper and the chemicals and energy used to produce a new book.

We also ship via a carbon-neutral shipping service and use a variety of sustainable packing for your orders. Where we can, we reuse existing packaging to give these materials a longer life by reusing them in turn. Find out more about our shipping + packaging here.
