In 2006 my dream of having my own Bookstore came true: I bought the Bookshop together with my Co-Owner. Our Bookstore has 200qm and mainly, we carry on Fiction & non Fiction, Guide Books, School Books, Children’s Books and Travel Literature. Most of our Customers are families, that’s why we also have 20% of toys and Gifts. Since becoming a bookseller in 1999, I have loved matching people together with the book, that fits perfect to them. 

 I am also a Chairwoman of our local trade association and City Councillor, and also there, as well, I bring people together to communicate local needs and improve the conditions for local trade. I believe that  Networking and Communication - online and offline - is an important tool for Bookseller!
