#localbookshops

I came across this incredible gem on Dizengoff st. It is called Katzman Gallery and they sell thousands of books in various conditions. And if you buy one, you can bring it back and get half price on your next book purchase. • • It’s really nice to see shops like these, and when I have the chance I prefer to purchase my books from them rather than huge bookstore chains. • • I believe in keeping stores like these alive and running as well as reading books. They have power and magic like nothing else does, and I hope that never dies. • • How about you? Do you prefer second hand books/ shops? Do you also prefer to buy in local shops rather than chains? • • • • • • • • • • #bookstacks #bookstores #secondhandbooks #secondhandbookshop #localbookshops #localbookstore #bookshelves #readbooks #readmorebooks #keepbookstoresalive #keepbooksalive #keepreading #dizengoff #dizengoffstreet #dizengoffstore #bookswap #magicofbooks #thepowerofbooks #readandwrite #readingandwriting #bookaddicts #bookaddiction (at Dizengoff Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoOYziJHRQ/?igshid=gil5zxct8vdp

'Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future' - Ray Bradbury Well I have my new library card, having moved recently. I saw this quote in the local library from Ray Bradbury, which caught my eye. Admittedly I've only ever read Fahrenheit 451 by him, but that novel alone had enough impact. It's interesting to think along the lines of having no past or future as without those what do we have? Would that be such a terrible and terrifying way to live our lives? Free from the burden of routine & tradition but also liberated from the striving & search for security modern society calls 'The future' I digress, just my thoughts and meanderings. But I'm interested what others think? In this digital age I guess if you extend the concept of a library to a archive and all its physical and digital permutations then yes I wholeheartedly agree. The printed word will live on! Support your local #libraries and #localbookshops folks :) #raybradbury #quotes #inspiration #thursdaythoughts #fahrenheit451 #library
