Info shop closure would be a great loss to me. I am an avid book reader and bought hundreds of books there over the years. It is also a great place to spend few minutes of relax to see what's new in the literature.

This is often visited by WBG clients from developing countries when they visit DC. It is a source of great research work in many areas of knowledge.

Please keep InfoShop open - it's one of the few bookstores that remain in DC. And the book events that InfoShop organizes are always great!

Please keep the World Bank Bookstore open. It is a wonderful connection for DC residents and visitors with the World Bank and the varied peoples and countries around the world served by the World Bank.

I always end up paying for extra baggage on the return flight so as to carry home the books I buy from the infoshop following visits to the IMF

A fabulous brand for the World Bank Group. I think we need to expand rather than close the store. A source of real intellectual leadership.

The Bank is all about knowledge and solutions. The bookstore provides a global public good. Therefore, it should be kept open.

There is the notion that everything is on the internet, however, as I look for essential material for research, inevitably I find myself in the infoshop. It is an increadibly valuable asset and tool, and I shop there frequently. It also is an embassador of the overall quality of the Bank's work. Please keep it open!

Closing the InfoShop of the World Bank is like loosing the soul of our institution. This cannot happen!

No other place like anywhere near this area, great selection of unusual books and helpful staff. Would be a real blow to close it.

One of the only bookstore downtown, providing in-depth hindsight and understanding on world-wide culture. What a terrible pity if it was indeed to be closed...

A treasure. Closing the shop would be a foolish and shortsighted action.

The book store has been a landmark and the place to go to for the latest thinking by leading development professionals from around the world - in print form - which we can all touch, feel and read at any place anytime without the need to plug any device. Keeping the Bookstore open will be a great service for the many who continue to rely on BOOKS for their work in development.
