Votes welcome
In the Bookseller poll !! (at the bottom of the page)
The poll closed on Friday afternoon and nobody knows what happened, I'm sure we will hear in the next few days. In the end it was a frenzy of votes between those supporting this campaign and those expressing sympathy for Bertrams wholesalers in the UK who are fighting for survival in a financial circumstance which is none of their own making. Many thanks indeed to all who voted-- from all over the world I am being told- whatever the result, the support for this campaign to put books back in public libraries has been fantastic and should send a clear message to all have responsbility to make this happen
And a big hello to Perkins' new friends in Ilford Central Library. Congratulations to Ros, Gareth, Nick and all there on your lovely library and many thanks for your welcome !
