Carmichael book store forced to close and throw away 100,000 books
There a many people out there who get turned off by the idea of dumpster diving, but over the last few days book lovers in Carmichael have done just that in search of their favorite author. Bookworm was a family-run store along Marconi Avenue that was in business for three decades. However, it could not survive the drop in business caused by COVID-19. The owner told KCRA 3 she decided to close her doors for good when she couldn't find any employees or pay her bills. She tried giving the books away, but that also turned out to be difficult.
