Culture – Leisure | Michel Kessler, a country side bookstore

Bouzonville, land of books

In Bouzonville, a few kilometers from Holling where a second-hand bookseller has set up shop, books have an important place in the commercial and daily life of this town of 4,000 inhabitants. Today it has a bookstore, a press house which has a beautiful book section and a media library. The two main supermarkets also offer a few books.

Xavier Kieffert, head of the Maison de la presse, is one of the first to have offered a rue Principale offer. “Our brand has been open since 1894 and there have always been books. Today, I am part of a network of publishers who allow me to have the latest news. But I have to admit that people have changed their buying habits. And then, when the media library opened, it affected local commerce. “

Marie-Thérèse Schoumacher, owner of the Évasion bookstore, has a completely different opinion. “Here there is room for everyone. I tell my clients to go to the library. We are well aware that a family of three children buys books every week. The important thing is to develop a love for books and I try to have books that suit everyone. “
