Xiao Yu loves to read books so she took a job at the Small Small Bookshop. The first time she passed the doors of the bookshop, she was immediately attracted to it and afterwards she attended some short courses. In November 2011 she joined the team. The job is pretty much what she expected. But working at Small Small is more autonomous than other jobs. The pace of the job is similar to her last job and so she was already used to it.
The biggest joy working at Small Small brings is being able to interact with all the customers. A number of customers have left nice messages in the bathroom about Small Small. Every time Xiao Yu sees them, she feels happy.
The Independent Bookstore Seminars organised by Small Small have left the biggest impression on Xiao Yu and they were also the courses that Xiao Yu attended before joining Small Small. She had thought of opening a bookstore before, but the seminars made her hesitate. Apart from funding, there are many other problems to face.
Small Small gives people more opportunities to interact with each other and Xiao Yu feels that the time she spends with people in the shop is her happiest. |
