The Library

Awesome to hear Barnes & Noble is profitable again and plans to open 30 new stores🙌

Will still prefer my local bookstores but this is a positive indicator overall.

I didn't realize that was a thing. A more 'local' feel is definitely a good way to go if that's what the intention is.

Great news! I also like the more personal approach their stores are now allowed to take, which I’m sure has contributed to people coming back.

That's a good question. I would imagine it's books because I can't think of other products they carry that would create a significant turnaround in people going to their stores. Would have to look into that more.

But are they profitable again by selling more books or have they extended their product range?

Great to hear! And yes, hopefully that is the case!

Hmmm great to know. I have found myself buying more physical copies of the books lately. Must be a subconscious meme that is taking over and it is a good one
