Say it Ain't So!

My favorite store, Pages for All Ages bookstore, may be closing!!! They haven't been selling gift cards, and they've been closed since mid-week "doing inventory." In today's local paper, an article stated that the phones went straight to a message saying all lines are busy, and the owners couldn't be reached for comment.

I cannot express how devastated I would be if this store closed. My mommy used to take me there every Friday to pick out new John Bellairs and Christopher Pike books. It's where I got my first New Kids on the Block biography. I worked there for five years, and it was the best job I ever had. (Yes, maybe even better than teaching.) I had plans to take Peanut there every weekend, and I wanted to retire and work there as the Children's Book Seller. I also get sick at the thought of what my friends, who still work there, will do if they close.

Pages has been around since 1988, and the customers are extremely loyal. We do not deserve to be jerked around and not notified if such a terrible thing as closing down is about to happen. If you're a former 'Paign local, click HERE for the short article.

Pages, don't go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
