A refuge for the community

9:38

changed other

9:38

people's lives it's definitely become a

9:41

refuge for a lot of people regardless of

9:45

whether they like books or not it's a

9:46

place they come and hang out some of

9:49

them are huge book lovers so it's sort

9:50

of rejuvenated they're there

9:53

ability to access books easily people

9:56

who love books and love to read and love

9:59

to ord books and love to collect books

10:00

and definitely I think changed their

10:03

lives because they come here every

10:04

single day so whatever they were doing

10:06

before every single day they're not

10:07

doing that anymore

10:08

[Music]

10:12

we've tried to add a real human element

10:15

we want it to be an authentic real

10:18

experience versus something that's cold

10:21

and calculated

10:23

I think that's the difference I think

10:25

that's one reason why we've been able to

10:26

do well in other bookstores perhaps are

10:29

struggling

10:35

in the beginning I really did this think

10:39

okay I'm gonna do this sort of art

10:40

project bookstore in my last two or

10:43

three years and then it's gonna fail

10:45

because the book cos is gonna be done

10:46

and that'll be it but after my injury my

10:50

life perspective definitely changed in

10:52

terms of just learning to look at

10:55

everything as a challenge not be afraid

10:57

of failure
