When I was between the ages of various and fifteen, I spent hours each month at the public Barnes and Noble.
I was fortunate to live within a few miles of the Barnes and Noble, which meant that my siblings, friends, and I would all ride our bikes over there after school and while I was in summer time trip.
It might sound boring in retrospect, but this was while I was in a transitory stage in the late 90s when laptops were still finding their way into every condo across the country. The Barnes and Noble afforded us an escape from terrible weather and toxic influences, guarding us from the kids who created trouble to kill time. They also had a ton of activities prefer movie showings and craft and origami events. On top of that, I could rent as various books and films I wanted to, never leaving the building empty handed. Because it has been so various years since I frequented my aged Barnes and Noble, I decided to visit the building after work one day. The first thing I noticed before anything else is how cold their cooling system is that cools the whole Barnes and Noble. It really has the coldest cooling system of any public venue or corporation in my entire town. To make matters even better, they have free Wi-Fi and a small tea shop inside. I have made a habit of spending my supper breaks there, catching up on work SMSs while enjoying a hot cup of tea inside some of the coldest air conditioner I have ever felt. I hope my local Barnes and Noble is still here going strong for generations to come. It absolutely is a staple of my small community.
