"Some tasks in particular make me feel like I'm playing the part of a bookstore owner in a movie," Janet Geddis, owner of Avid Bookshop, Athens, Ga., noted on Facebook, where she shared a few of these moments:
- Sweeping the sidewalk out front in the morning before we open.
- Handing a customer a handled bag full of books she's just bought for a loved one.
- Decorating the chalkboard.
