A group of retirees in Singapore band together to open a bookshop in a hawker centre to offer local community a literary gathering space and affordable books
SINGAPORE - On the second floor of Old Airport Road hawker centre, an unassuming little bookstore has appeared. Called Dakota Dreams, it sells children's books and comics by Singapore authors as well as pre-loved titles. Its neighbours are clothing stores and a Covid-19 Quick Test Centre. Elderly residents stop by to browse magazines; children pull their grandparents over to look.
