Please keep the bookstore open! It is part of our window to the world, one of the very few things that make us visible in the US: we should not loose that!

It's a great knowledge institution and if the World Bank Group positions itself as a knowledge organization it's imperative that it stays opened!

Please keep this book shop open. It is where we can get hard to find books (or they find it for us). Mementos of the WB is precious for our gifts!

I always make it a point to bring my relatives and friends who visits USA for the first time at the InfoShop to brag about our books and report selection plus our souvenirs as an added attraction!

This is not a regular book store. It is a key venue for learning, information sharing, and knowledge upgrading on a wide range of development issues.

I think we need to make a conscious effort to retain physical bookstores and keep them in business, not only as places to buy books but as spots where communities which identify themselves as readers can get together.

This is one of the places most visitors and dignitaries visit as part of their visit to HQ. I cannot imagine our headquarters without the Bookstore! Pease keep it!

This bookshop is one of the few remaining places in downtown DC where book lovers can find the latest titles. It would be a great shame that The World Bank loose this unique space.

The Infoshop is a unique bookstore offering products that no other bookstore can offer in and around DC. It also uniquely serves the Bretton Woods Institutions stakeholders (internal and external) in a way that no other service provider can. Please keep it.

Management has taken cost-cutting at the Bank a bit to far. The Info Shop is an invaluable part of the Bank on many levels. Please reconsider and keep the InfoShop open. Thank you.
