Kids Stuff To Do – Ganesha Bookshop

Kids Stuff To Do Ganesha Bookshop

Ganesha Bookshop is a well-known, much-loved new and second-hand bookshop in Ubud. In addition to a wide range of new books on Bali and Indonesia, the store stocks a range of second-hand books, mostly in English, but also in other languages. All the books that people have been meaning to read for a while and buy to read on holiday wind up here after they’ve been read, so you can find classics and current best-sellers, as well as Ubud Writer Festival favorites.

Ganesha Books runs a literacy project for Balinese kids, called Books For Bali. The goal of the program is to “foster literacy, learning and a love of reading throughout the Balinese community.”

You can buy books in the store or online through their website, Books For Bali, to donate to the program. They need dictionaries, picture books, story books, folk tales and children’s books in both English and Indonesian.

For children they recommend dictionaries, picture books, stories, folktales and children’s books for ages 4 to 12 years. We have a selection of bilingual (Indonesian/English), Bahasa Indonesian and English books from which to choose.

For young people in high school they recommend dictionaries, non-fiction, and Indonesian fiction, poetry and prose.

For adults in rehabilitation they recommend Indonesian Fiction, Poetry and Prose.

Ganesha Bookshop is on the corner of Jalan Raya Ubud and Jalan Jembawan, in Ubud, just near the main Post Office.
