Hello and Yes! Welcome NATIONAL TODAY to our website.
Love Your Bookshop Day celebrates the invaluable role of local bookshops every August 14th.
Books!! I hear the word and I can't help but think of Patti and her love and passion for reading books, both hand held hard cover as well as paperbacks, and oh yes! e-books on her Amazon Kindle!
Speaking of Amazon, just look at and read the below image..
Amazon is responsible for a whopping 40% of U.S. New Book Sales!!
The education of the Public is dependent on the type of books read. The more people read, the more people have access to the information they need to do their best. People can apply the knowledge they receive from the books they read and are better equipped to make better decisions in their lives.
While exact numbers fluctuate, the American Booksellers Association reports a significant increase in independent bookstores in recent years, with over 2,500 locations across the U.S. in 2023. This growth reflects a renewed appreciation for local, curated literary spaces.
According to a 2023 Pew Research Center study, the average American adult reads approximately 14 books per year, with print books remaining the most popular format. This figure underscores a consistent interest in reading across the population..
Patti on the other hand, reads between 3 and 4 books a week!
A beautiful Bookstore!!
There you have it!
Patti and Cap
Does Patti know she can use her Kindle to borrow books from the library?
