Times change!The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing
,
I was sad.The bookstore had been in the neighborhood for 50 years
,
and was a great place where people could connect through their love of books.
When I met Old Tim
,
the store's owner
,
he told me it was difficult to run
(运营)
a traditional bookstore.Most young people preferred reading e-books and more people bought books online.
Childhood memories came back to me so clearly.A group of us kids often went to the store.We looked at the new books
,
or just talked with Tim.We spent hours reading there.Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board.
A few months later
,
I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business.It was still old
,
but inside it was like a different world.In an area
,
a book reading was going on.Nearby
,
some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board.Some were reading on computers.It even had a coffee shop selling nice food.Clearly
,
the Bright Bookstore was in good
,
creative hands.
Tim told me that there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings and even concerts and movie nights.The bookstore was turned into a place where the book lovers got together and shared ideas and experiences.
"Well
,
as you can see
,
technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century!I'm so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here
,
" said Tim.
No matter how times change
,
there are always people who love reading.With the development of technology
,
traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way.
