Went to our local Borders, to see the sales and such. It was actually really sad. I walked around kind of mourning the place. I remembered all the times we would go there just to hang out. Part of me is also sad pursuing my career as a librarian, I worry about my career choice. I worry about the place of physical books in our future. Currently we're on our way to Barnes & Noble to get me a Nook. It's a way to stay in tune with the times in my book career. Gotta keep up reading, no matter what the format. Also, perhaps becoming more tech savvy is a must for survival in the future.
Goodnight and good luck Borders. Thanks for the memories.
I am really sad about Borders closing, too. Sean wants to get me a Kindle or one of the like, so that we can box up the shelves of books I have at home. But I'm still not sold, because I love holding a physical book to read. Let me know how your Nook works out.
