The new Columbia Books location, 1907 Gordon St., was built to be environmentally friendly. It has insulated glass, a dual heat pump, special insulation and pervious concrete. Owner Annette Kolling-Buckley said she is hopeful those features will keep costs low and help the business weather the recession.
