It's been two years since Borders 647 of Middletown, NY sold its last book and closed its doors for good. While our staff is still heartbroken over the loss of a bookstore and one of the best jobs we've ever had, we are extremely grateful to still have each other. This blog and our book club has helped us to keep in contact and made our friendships even stronger than before.
This video made by our own Rebecca T. has been posted here before but I think it's worth sharing again. Please take a moment to view our video and then call up that friend or family member you haven't talked to in awhile and catch up. And please remember to support your local bookstores and mom n' pop shops whenever you can. For most people, it's simply not a job or a livelihood, it's family!
Store 647 - Middletown, New York - "When you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book." ~ Christopher Morley
