Our local B&N has been devoting more space to toys (and you have to walk through the toy section to get to the kids book section) and I say, if it keeps B&N in business, bring on the toys! I even bought over $100 in toys there before Christmas. The kids book section at our B&N is used as a free indoor playspace (where reading is the way you play). When my daughter was younger she would spend hours and hours there with her babysitter every week. It would really be a detriment to the community if it were to close. So I'm happy to spend some money there, whether it's for books or other things. And my daughter is happy to pick our her own books, the experience of shopping online is not the same.
