EMILY, GERMANY

We’re having a sale because we're closing the shop. lt's sad, because my grandfather opened it 60 years ago. When I was small, I came here on Saturday mornings and sat and read the children's books.

When my grandad retired, I managed the shop. Now there's a sale, lots of people are buying things, but it's normally very difficult. There are lots of very big bookshops now, which sell every book a customer can want. They also have a cafe and famous writers give talks at the shop. We can't do that, so we're not getting many customers and we're losing money.

l'm looking for a job at the moment, but I don't really know what I want to do in the future. I don't really want to work in another bookshop after I leave here.
