How every November 8 for nine years, Today is the Day of Libraries in Spain. An idea that arises from the guild and the bookstore associations, with the aim of vindicating the small business, since in this way, a close relationship with the reader can be established, in addition to individualized treatment, something difficult to achieve in other types of shops, such as large establishments.
In this way, booksellers and booksellers in Spain unite with the motto "The bookstores touch us" and organize activities, contests and discounts in many of the small businesses that struggle to resist despite large companies.
The magic of bookstores
For lovers of literature, there is nothing more special than to happen to a neighborhood bookstore and look and browse between the shelves. The small neighborhood bookstores have a special magic, a different smell of paper and ink, mixed with the illusion of the bookseller or bookseller to foster that passion in any reader. This is the great advantage and the difference of small businesses, in them, the sellers are really involved with the buyer.
A bookcase will help you choose the reading you need most at that time, he will know how to choose what best suits your tastes and will be able to recommend those readings that best suit your preferences. That, in a large area, is impossible to achieve, and not because the seller does not have the same passion. If not because due to time, due to affluence, it is impossible for them to be involved in the same way.
