Located in the old art deco building of the former Savoy Cinema, this independent bookstore is simply majestic. With an original cinema screen, stage and ceiling, The Book Centre boasts a unique atmosphere. For good measure, Poppy’s Café – nestled snuggly on the premises – is the ideal place to pass a relaxing afternoon with a good book. And if you’re a long way from Waterford, there are equally enchanting Book Centre stores in Wexford, Kilkenny or Naas!
