WELCOME to The Daily Click, where we put the spotlight on businesses in County Clare with an online shop.

The Clare Echo is asking local people to get behind Clare businesses, and to think local before visiting international shopping websites. Today, we showcase book sellers in Clare, giving you the opportunity to buy an excellent Christmas stocking filler from a local writer or supplier. Go ahead, give them a click and support local.

This series is part of The Clare Echo’s #clickforclare initiative, supported by Local Enterprise Office Clare.
