Students at one Brooklyn public school are making a business that's, one for the books. 

For the first time, the student-run bookstore at PS 5 in Bed-Stuy opened to the community with a book drive Saturday at the school.

After noticing a lack of bookstores in the area, students decided they wanted to start their own location. 

Many of the books are donated.

One student says the bookstore has sparked her interest in becoming an entrepreneur.

"My favorite part about running it is about I also get to be with all my friends," she said. "But it gets me excited because when the little kids come in and they ask like.. they wanna read books."

The school is looking into opening the bookstore to the community more often. 

The book drive also supports an initiative to help build libraries at local shelters.
