Interesting book signing/lecture/rental space
Several photos ago, I stated: "Novel would not be utilizing the space to the left (well, for the most part anyway -- more on that bit of news in a future upload)." Well, that future is now, and here's a shot of the "space on the left" they did utilize. This room is actually in the very rear part of the bookstore, taking up a good-sized sliver of rear portion of the *old* space, and possibly even extending a bit further beyond that! At first, I thought this might be some sort of hallway linking to another tenant or two in the shopping center (or a new internal delivery hallway or something), but nope: all a part of Novel, or at least set up for them to use for visiting authors to have book signings, lectures, etc. Pretty cool idea, even if it's a bit odd-looking! And as a clever, added source of revenue for them, they will even rent this room out for private events.
