The Book Cave is the first children's Islamic library in Birmingham! It's based at Clifton Road Mosque and the Al-Mahdi Institute.

Based at Clifton Road Mosque and the Al-Mahdi Institute, The Book Cave aims to cater for 0-18 year olds by bringing together the best of Islamic and moral fiction and non-fiction books, educational toys and games, and the latest audio books and DVDs. Our aim is to invite children to be part of this rich and dynamic resource with the hope of building their love of reading and knowledge in the path of the Almighty!

We regret to inform you that Asmaa Hussein is no longer travelling to the UK for her book tour this month - this is due to unforeseen family circumstances.

For those of you who have already paid, we will refund the money in full. Our apologies once again.
