Don’t want to buy expensive textbooks anymore? Want to read some classics to enrich your mind without waiting around in the library? Here’s a suggestion: the Mollie used bookstore. Perhaps your experience has told you that used bookstores are always too small and have a weird smell. And piles of books are always falling on your head. But Mollie will definitely change your mind. Unlike other used bookstores, Mollie is clean and cozy. It is spacious, warm, and even has sweet-smelling tea and snacks for sale! Its owner, Mr. Tsai, has run a used bookstore in the Kwanghwa Bazaar for many years. After ten years, he decided to expand his business with a new branch, choosing the Kungkuan area last year. Mollie, which means “jasmine” in Chinese, is formed by the combination of characters from Mr. Tsai and his wife’s names. Mollie is unique among used bookstores in Taiwan. Any kind of book you can think of might be on Mollie’s shelves: children’s books, college textbooks, bestsellers, English novels, albums of paintings, and so on. And its books are sold at less than half their original price, and there are other discounts. But not because they are ancient, blurred, or torn. All books are cleaned by Mollie’s staff, so you don’t have to worry about buying an ugly or worn book. Not only books, Mollie also has a small coffee shop. It offers tea, coffee, food such as cheesecake and homemade cookies. Imagine sitting leisurely in a bookstore, reading your favorite book with coffee and cake. If you have some used books and don’t know what to do with them, Mollie is also glad to buy them from you. If your books are not suitable for sale, the shop will donate them to public welfare organizations. So don’t hesitate to bring them along. Since Mollie is just around Taida, why not drop by for a look? If you’re a bookworm, Mollie is perfect for you. If you’re not, why not try Mollie’s coffee and cake? Enjoy and have fun!
