Tips

culture
农家书屋 nóngjiā shūwū ('rural-household reading rooms') is a major government program — over 600,000 small libraries set up in villages since 2007 to put books within reach of rural readers. The word 书屋 has become tightly associated with this initiative.
register
More intimate / boutique-flavored than 书店 shūdiàn ('bookstore'). Independent and themed bookshops often style themselves as 书屋 to feel literary or homey.
