Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:35:28 +0000 http://www.caridad.com/?p=3905#comment-8680 I am a former Waldenbooks employee who lost my job when our store closed in late January. I was there almost 10 years, and the staff was like family, as was our regular customers. There were so many tears, letters, calls, protests, an editorial in the paper, etc. I'm sorry to say nothing helped because Borders Group is closing the Waldenbooks stores as the leases come up, but I applaud your efforts, and I'm sure everybody at that store will appreciate it a lot. The comments and letters from our customers meant the world to us at a very devastating time. I am a former Waldenbooks employee who lost my job when our store closed in late January.

I hate to say this but I am an employee who is losing their job in the book store closures. I am soooo upset. We have such a great store, employees and customer base.

And yes, one should buy books at these stores to keep them from closing down. I'll send an e-mail, Caridad. I wish we had a Borders here that dedicated that kind of shelf space to romance.

A lot of books I was used to finding are no longer there. It is sad to hear that a good Borders in closing! Our Waldens seemed to go downhill when Borders took it over.

It sounds like it has a lot going for it, especially the staff. You wonder why corporate made the decisions they did. Kudos to you Caridad for championing this cause. I'm sure the staff of that Borders will be indebted to you. I hope you reach many Lancaster inhabitants through this post. I hate when stores like this close.

Perhaps the best way to keep good bookstores from closing is to go there and buy books. The way out of this depression is to spend money...it worked when Ike was president and it will work now. Of course, one has to have money to spend....Catch 22. Oh, what a pity!
