Lamentation thread for independent bricks & mortar bookstores closing in Canada
I just found out about another independent Toronto bookstore that will close in mid-June but it will continue online. Thought it was time we had a thread outside of Local to let SCers post about bookstores that are finding the Internet age costing them their streetfront locations in retail areas across the nation.
Serbica Books will close on June 15 and will remain an online seller of books (www.serbica.com) published in Serbian or written in English about topics relevant to Serbian history and culture and travel.
Independent bookstores that have closed in Toronto:
Nicholas Hoare (2013)
The Cookbook Store (2014)
Toronto Women's Bookstore (2012)
Librairie Champlain (2009-Toronto's sole French language bookstore)
A few bookstores on Queen St. W. and Yonge St.
Guelph will be losing Macondo Books once the closing sale is done. Then the building will be listed for sale.

Which bookstores are closing in your province/territory? Will they remain online in some way?
