Two Independent Bookstores to Close

This Publishers Weekly article about the impending closure of two independent bookstores in Connecticut made me think of one of my favorite movies, You've Got Mail.  Enjoy the film clip below, and support small businesses in your neighborhood.

Happy reading and shop small,
