21、These days so many things are going digital, and books are too. People can buy e-books or cheap books online. This means that some bookstores have a hard time staying open. This isn’t a new problem, but things are finally starting to turn around.

Bookstore sales in the US went up 2.5 percent from 2014 to 2015, according to the US Census Bureau. They have found success by trying new things like holding events, adding a coffee shop and food and creating a fun experience for book lovers. “That’s what small bookstores have to offer,” Nicole Sullivan, owner of Denver’s Book Bar, told the Denver Post, “a more personalized（个性化的）experience and a sense of community.”

Also, bookstores are trying to bring in new shoppers in cool ways. The Shakespeare and Co. bookstore in New York is adding the Espresso Book Machine, which can print any book you want in five minutes at the store. This special machine can help people search for books easily.

And sometimes, if you can’t beat them, it’s okay to join them. Many stores like Second Story Books in Washington, DC, use online bookstores like Amazon to their advantage. They have two bookstores. People can pick out new books they like and enjoy themselves in the actual bookstores（实体店）. And they also sell books on Amazon to make more money.
