Our Story / Our Vision

Better Books was created in 2009 as a used bookstore and community center. Kuwait needed a space for readers and families to come together in a spacious, comfortable environment to look through our books, read them, take them home and then return them if they wish. Kuwait also needed a space for family friendly activities. Better Books was envisioned to be more than a bookstore – but that comfortable space to relax, read and attend activities. Activities that Better Books have hosted included Christian/Interfaith prayer groups, meditation and yoga, Toastmasters, children’s fitness/karate, children’s art and crafts. Better Books has also hosted free lectures on health conditions and a seminar by legal advocates in Kuwait. As of June 2024, we are only online. We DO plan to reopen in a physical location in 2024.
