I’m so glad I read this. I haven’t been to Colorado yet but it’s nice to see what bookstores are out there in the world, and how they’re contributing to society. Now I know who they are, (all the way from NY) and I can keep them in mind 😉
Thanks for this informative look at Fort Collins’ charming bookstore. Like you, I love independent bookstores and try to support them. Scholastic book fairs brought back a memory. They would set up at CJ’s elementary school and the kids were SO excited—the 1990s.
(It is my atonement for reading magazines & books at Borders for hours in the cafe until they filed bankruptcy in 2011. I still feel guilt for buying more beverages than books there.)
Yes, the ecosystem of independent bookstores really resonates with me. I look forward to capturing more of these stories in the days ahead as a part of my global bookstore tour.
In the meantime, thanks for the throwback days reminder about Borders. What an interesting time that was in the book world.
