@cbcns: A used bookstore in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, is getting more attention for one unique reason. It opens in the evening and doesn't close until customers stop coming, even if that means keeping the lights on into the early morning. The shop was recently the subject of a short film that's making its Canadian premiere in Regina this week before being shown at the Atlantic International Film Festival and Lunenburg Doc Fest next month. The CBC's Cassidy Chisholm reports. #books #film #novascotia #news

With all of this new found fame, can we all please keep in mind that this man has been open enough to talk about his agoraphobia. If you want to visit, please do not crowd the store so we can keep this wonderful societal ecosystem thriving

This guy is so sweet, I bought some kids books and he showed that the books had a ‘G’ on the inside cover, to show they belonged to his son Gus. I think of him and Gus every time I read the books now.

My sister, my best friend, and I grew up going to Chris’s bookstore. We’d go every weekend to pick out books and DVDs, and we always looked forward to seeing Chris. He is genuinely the sweetest person, and those little weekend trips are such a special memory from growing up. ❤️

People haven't worked 9-5 as standard in decades. Shift workers really struggle to take part in the community because they miss most opening hours. This is beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting with him for an hour just after Covid. I came in on a day down from the city and we just got to talking. Learned about his whole life and I am grateful for the stories and time he shared with me.

I remember going for supper in Lunenburg, and I wanted to swing into the bookstore but didn’t have time. I was THRILLED when I left supper and the store was still open. Chris was so kind! I’ve been dying to get back there.

I hope that this doesn't bring too many people to this store, and I hope that those that do go there respect his desire to not be overwhelmed with customers
