Just six weeks after closing, what we thought was for good, Chapters Bookstore reopens today.
On this rainy March day, is there anything better than a cosy visit to a bookstore, especially one we thought was gone for good?
Chapters is reopening today after its brief hiatus, and we're so happy to see it. If you're thinking of braving the weather, here's everything you need to know about their reopening.

Who took over from the previous owner?
Kevin Neary and Michael Finucane, of Gamesworld bought Chapters from previous owner Willie Kinsella, who has since retired.
Is it still the same staff?
Yes, Sara is still on as manager and much of the staff remains the same from before they closed at the end of January.
Are they back for good?
They are indeed.
And there you have it, everything you need to know about Chapters reopening today. If you're like me, you'll be ignoring that huge TBR pile sitting on your bedside, or on your book shelf, and buying a hoard of new books from Chapters just to celebrate the occasion. It would be rude not to.
