The Bookstore

The Bookstore

After moving from place to place, our Bookstore finally has a home.
For about one month now the Bookstore has been located between the
restaurant and the Boutique. The suggestion was made by Paddy Doyle
from Ibis that we should put it there. He is a reader and thought we
had a "gold mine" in books. So with minimal expense, that we have
already recouped, we put in 2 walls, a roof, and added more tables and
chairs.

Today a lady came out from Lusaka and bought over 800 books which she
will resell in Lusaka.

The added bonus for readers like Kimberly and I is that we also have
access to reading material.

The Bookstore can also work like a library. If a customer keeps the
receipt and also takes care of the book, he can return and swap the
first book for another. In that way we don't loose money and he/she
gets to have new reading material whenever we are open. It makes the
store a library.
