While I prefer 'real' books, it is not the City of Eugene's job to save Tsunami Books.  Or Smith's Books or Barnes & Noble.  

The reduction in book stores is a nationwide situation.  My Kindle and all those other electronic readers just keep growing in popularity.  

Grandma may just have to start using one.  

Buggy whip stores are not as popular as they were last century, either.  If you want one, you almost have to go on-line to get any variety in your selection.  

But there are electronic catalogues to help you find what you need.

Nostalgia shouldn't justify Eugene business rental policy.
