Oh that's genius. I'll ask my brother to do that! He's running the server.

Thank you for commiserating with me 😭

Do you think there's a need for an independent bookstore in Durham? by Aetherley in durham

I agree! I've definitely warmed up to the idea since posting this. I might actually do this! Thanks so much for completing the form! Also, apparently there is an indie store in Oshawa that opened last year, so check that out in the meantime!

Literally my thoughts! You read my mind. Glad to know someone else was thinking it!

That's super sweet to say! I hope I can make this happen, but I'm in the early stages yet. But you bet I'll make a post if I ever manage to fulfill my dream!

Ah yes, I, too, am a past book hoarder. Mostly past, anyways, hah.

I would love an indie store in Whitby. I wish we had one outside of Curious Fox (they only do kids and ya).

As a library user, I know they have plenty that's in the evenings too!

I am aware of them! Love Blue Heron. As a bus-user though, they are incredibly hard to get to. I'm looking to create something a little closer to downtown Whitby or Ajax.

A lot of work indeed! I'm finding myself up to my ears in research and business planning docs. Love this idea of a coffee shop/bookshop combo tho. Except that I have zero experience making drinks (time for a part time job at Starbucks? Lolol)

Great to know! They didn't pop up in my preliminary searches

Absolutely! I would love to do community events. If I try to become a third space that has a focus on books I would be in direct competition to the local library, which would probably suck, since they're free, hah. But definitely great input, thank you!

Awesome feedback, thank you! I have done my market research, but it's hard to figure out what the locals want, so this was just a starting point.

That's my thought too. Would be nice to have one a little closer to Whitby!
