But is a 24-hour bookstore necessary? Is it only for night owls to hang out and buy books?
At 10:30 pm, there are still people in the store, even though only the first floor is open this late.
Surprisingly, almost all the people I spoke to support the idea of a 24-hour bookstore. Visitor Lian Huabei says, "I think it's absolutely necessary. There are 24-hour eateries, 24-hour bars, why not bookstores? I always sleep during the day and am awake at night. I'm the kind of person whose brain is more active during the night than daytime. Many writers or artists are nocturnal. A 24-hour bookstore might have no people. But you have to have one."
Visitor Li Kunduo says, "I would come here after work. Read something to improve myself."
Graduate student Nier and her friend also think a city needs a 24-hour bookstore. "This is very attractive to me. If I hang out late with friends, I would like to have a quiet place like this to stay for a while other than McDonalds."
