Barnes & Noble is one of the big chains that have pushed independent bookstores out of many neighborhoods.

It may be hard to escape the irony, but now Barnes & Noble is being pushed out of the San Fernando Valley community of Encino. Recently, a group of angry readers formed Save Our Encino Barnes & Noble.
