Yeah, just what exactly is going on with Borders?What used to be a combo coffee hangout and bookstore with tons of lounging areas encouraging browsing and a great selection in dozens of categories now seems on the decline. Stores are closing (including the store in Westwood leaving only the UCLA bookstore in the area) left and right all across the country. It seems the large bookstore is facing the same financial difficulties encountered by many of the independent bookstores around the country as more buyers explore e-books. Still most bibliophiles agree that browsing titles online is not the same satisfying tactile experience to be found spending a few hours at leisure amongst the stacks of the local bookshop.
Thankfully the Friends of the Corona Public Library still offer up this experience. Stop by the Corona Library and visit soon the
Friends' BookShop. You're sure to find that special book you never knew you always wanted and at a bargain price too!
