香港獨立書店「留下書舍」於8月30日迎來最後營業日，吸引大量民眾前往告別。1書店外排隊人龍一度達到50人，部分顧客需要等待約30分鐘才能進入。1
「留下書舍」的關閉源於其3名店主及店員涉嫌違反《維護國家安全條例》第24條「出於煽動意圖作出具煽動意圖的作為罪」遭拘捕。1書店於8月14日宣布停業計劃，隨後在8月15日遭警方搜查，後於8月26日短暫重開以出清商品。1前來告別的市民表示，「賣書的地方很重要，沒有了很可惜。」1
同樣經歷搜查和拘捕的「田園書屋」計劃於租約期滿後結業。1隨著多間獨立書店陸續結業，引發公眾對書店存亡的擔憂。1
The independent bookstore "Leave Behind Books" in Hong Kong ceased operations on August 30 after its owners and staff faced legal troubles.1 Three store proprietors and employees were arrested on suspicion of committing acts with seditious intent in violation of Article 24 of the National Security Ordinance.1 The shop had announced its closure on August 14, followed by a police search on August 15, before briefly reopening on August 26 to clear remaining inventory.1
On the bookstore's final day of operation, long queues formed outside as members of the public came to bid farewell to the venue.1 The line extended to as many as 50 people at its peak, with some customers waiting approximately 30 minutes to enter the store.1 One visitor expressed concern about the loss, stating that "a place that sells books is very important, and it is regrettable that it is gone."1
The closure of "Leave Behind Books" reflects broader concerns about the survival of independent bookstores in Hong Kong.1 Another independent bookstore, "Pastoral Books," has also faced police search and arrests, with plans to cease operations when its lease expires.1
