When it comes to books in Belgrade, you can find them in libraries, bookstores, on the street... Street vendors sell second-hand books, which owners no longer need.

There is one place in the city where I feel very relaxed. It's the Bookastore Cafe (with "a" in the middle, it is not a mistake 🙂). Here you can read books while drinking coffee or refreshing ice fruit juice from organic production and eating delicious cookies.
You can choose the book you want or some recommended by the cafe.
This time I chose the book "A Handbook for a Solid Life". The title was following my mood. 🙂
In this cafe, you can enjoy the peace upstairs and feel at home there.
In my city, you can very often see people in parks lying on the grass or sitting on benches and reading books.
When I talk about books, I have to mention one painful place. It is the National Library that was destroyed in 1941 during the bombing of Belgrade. Here it was before it was destroyed.
That is when the most valuable cultural treasure of my country was destroyed. More than 500,000 books. And that was the place where my citizens used to read the most in the past.
Keep your books and enjoy them. They will always be there for you.
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.
I invite 
Greetings!
