What is the significance of the existence of 24-hour bookstores?
After the long summer, the temperature in Beijing is rising gradually and the days are getting longer and longer. The invention of electricity liberated mankind from the bondage of day and night. The rapid development of cities and the continuous improvement of supporting facilities not only facilitate daily life, but also enrich and enrich people's leisure time. If culture is the spiritual soul of the city, then the bookstore is the spiritual landmark of the city, and the "24-hour bookstore" is an immortal lamp among these spiritual landmarks.

Light an unlit lamp for the reader.

From bound paper books to unlimited e-books, from physical bookstores on street corners to online bookstores that can be browsed by clicking a mouse, the development of science and technology not only brings changes in life and consumption behavior, but also quietly affects the reading habits of the public.

Under the influence of factors such as the rapid popularization of Internet bookstores and e-books, physical bookstores have ushered in a wave of bankruptcy, and the topic of how physical bookstores "survive" in the Internet age is no longer new.

At the beginning of its establishment, the 24-hour bookstore was an exploration of the transformation of traditional bookstores. However, the insignificant sales performance from midnight to early morning, the salary of sales and service personnel, and the inevitable loss of equipment and electricity for businesses make this road of transformation more bumpy than it seems.

The 24-hour bookstore provides readers with not only books, but also a quiet and comfortable reading environment, which gives people a spiritual and cultural choice outside the colorful casino.

The existence of a 24-hour bookstore may be a drop in the bucket to "save" the existing situation of physical bookstores, but it is undoubtedly a kind of peace of mind for those who are eager to have books at night. Writer Moyer said: "it is happiness to have time to study and time to study;" I have no time to study, and I have no time to read. This is distress. "In this crowded and busy era, it is a great happiness to have a bookstore that is not closed for 24 hours, so that people have time to calm down and study hard. From then on, the night in the city will be influenced by more books.
