WHY BUY IN AN INDEPENDENT LIBRARY?
When you shop in an independent shop, the entire community benefits from:
THE ECONOMY
If you spend € 100 in an independent shop around € 65 remains in your community. Independent shops create jobs in your territory and pay taxes in Italy.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Buying “local” means less packaging, less transport, less infrastructure, less pollution and therefore benefits for your community.
THE COMMUNITY
The shopkeepers in your area are your friends and neighbors, support them and they will support you. More independent stores allow you more choice, variety and freedom.
