The Book Rack is closing after 49 years. I’m not the only one struggling to say goodbye

The Book Rack, an independent used bookstore in Denver's University Hills neighborhood, is closing permanently on Sept. 13 after 49 years of business. Owner Cathi Kern said she was forced to shut down the shop due to financial reasons, calling the closure 'mostly bitter.' The store served as a long-term fixture for many customers who cherished their memories there.
