Appeal to save it antique bookstore of the homeless, Elena Akrita made a post on social media.
“The building that housed the warehouse of the Old Bookstore of the Homeless on Piraeus Street was recently sold. An intellectual treasure trove of 100,000 books is urgently looking for a new home, in order not to end up in the recycling. 20,000 of them are rare and not sold on the market, while many date back to before 1900. The Homeless Bookstore is urgently looking for a new storage space of about 500 sq.m. in Athens and at a reasonable distance around it. either for a reasonable fee or by concession. Anyone who has the opportunity and wants to support this laudable effort by offering a new home for these books, please contact Mrs. Leonidas Koursoumi on phone 6977239766, or visit the small used bookshop of the Homeless in Pagrati, on Astydamantos Street 11” he says.
