Please reconsider. It would be a tremendous loss to the community.

Please keep the InfoShop Book Shop open. It is my regular visit whenever I'm in DC.

The Infoshop is a superb and important resource for all people interested in international development. It also is a cost effective positive advertisement for the World Bank Group, since foreign visitors in DC with business at the Bank or Fund, or not, often make a stop at the Infoshop a must on their itinerary.

We can let places like this disappear, they are an essential resource.

Please don't close. I love this bookstore and it's so appropriate for Washington, DC, the nation's capitol.

Please keep this amazing bookstore open. If keeping this bookstore open is not feasible, then at least have some sort of online world bank bookstore. A place that you could recommend world bank publications, important development text, and relevant fiction titles. Thank you.

Are international finance and literacy mutually exclusive? The World Bank's decision will inform us, definitively and irreversibly, of what they think.

Please don't close the bookstore. It is an oasis for the public and bank staff

What a treasure in downtown DC. Love nothing more than grabbing lunch at one of the nearby restaurants and then popping in to look around (and usually buy something) before heading back to the office. What a loss for downtown.

It is a fine bookstore, important to the intellectual life of the Nation's capital. It is equally important in telling the story of international development.

I love this little bookshop by the corner, and would like to see it stay to serve numerous people who walk into its doors from across the world.

No other technical bookshop for miles around. This is a public service.

I love the World Bank Bookstore (Infoshop) and I want World Bank management to reconsider its decision to close the store.
