Indie Bookstore: 'Community Hub that Is a Sea of Familiar Faces'

Shelf Awareness

"Time Out is more than a retail space; it's a community hub that is a sea of familiar faces. Baby bumps turn into tiny little readers who are reading early chapter books before we know it. I get distracted while reading new titles, making a mental list of which of our customers I have to tell about them.

"What I really love about our customers, is that they know exactly how and where they can buy books online, but they see both the true value in keeping their dollars in the local economy as well as the ongoing benefits of having a thriving independent store in Mt. Eden."



--Jenna Todd, manager of Time Out Bookstore, Mt. Eden, Auckland, in an interview with the New Zealand Herald
