At least there's the library

It looks like the days are numbered for the Barnes & Noble in Squirrel Hill. The company announced today that they'll be shutting down the Murray Avenue store at the end of this year.

I've been to the B&N a few times but have never really bought anything there. It was smaller and nice atmosphere that reminded you more of a local ma and pa bookstore - with two floors. Who knows what will go into that space. Maybe another bookstore.

On the bright side, the Carnegie Library in Squirrel Hill should be just fine.

  2. I agree. I will be an Amazon Kindle for Halloween to commemorate the death of the book.
