Book stores and libraries are my temples. It's sad to see Chapters' Scarborough branch, located in Kennedy Commons shopping mall, closing its doors on January 27th. This store has been with us for many years. My daughters and I have been using it since their childhoods. For them, it's very special, carrying lots of memorable moments. I bought all of my favorite astro-physics books written by my favorite authors Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, and Brian Greene here. I bought many fictional books, including my favorite novels by Fyodor Dostoevsky such as 'Brothers Karamazov,' 'Crime and Punishment,' 'The Idiot,' and Tolstoy's 'Resurrection,' among many more classics.
One of the features I like the most about Chapters is their reading facilities for their customers. Anyone visiting to buy books can also enjoy reading using their chairs. In that sense, it serves as both a bookstore and library. While I was shopping, I enjoyed reading many books to select and see their literary value.
Since the pandemic, many publishing companies, bookstores, magazines, and newspapers have been struggling to stay in business. Also, all printed media is slowly fading due to the emergence of new technologies.
Goodbye, Scarborough Chapters! Thank you very much for being a part of our family for a long time. Your memories will always be fresh.
