📝 LOU’S NOTES:
Located in Downtown Halifax, on bustling Spring Garden Road, Bookmark feels like the “people’s choice” of bookshops in Halifax given its prime location in a heavily foot trafficked area. Convenience and a vast collection of books, from new releases to cookbooks to biographies to encyclopedias to kitschy knick-knacks, it’s easy to see why the local literary community loves supporting Bookmark
Shelves were well-categorized making it super easy to browse by genre, with new releases and staff recommendations near the front.
