My Sister's Bookstore

This past weekend I went home and found out that my sister wants to open a bookstore. She graduated college with a degree in psychology, worked, got married, had children, and put her degree off for a while. Now she wants to put her degree back to use and start a bookstore dealing wth psychology. I mentioned to her about the bookstore Everybody Reads and the story that the owner shared with us. My sister also wants to offer books to people that can't always find books easily. She wants to have a bookstore geared towards children and parents with mental disorders and other mental health issues. She wants to create a place where parents and children dealing with these issues can find information, resources, and stories like theirs. I think that it is a great idea! Now that I am in this class I am learning what people buy, how to organize a store into sections, and what resources would be helpful for customers. Because of the library/bookstore assignment, I am able to help my sister design this store and give advice. She is still thinking about a store name though, any ideas?
