Please keep the InfoShop, our only bookstore, open. The InfoShop should even be extended! as it is the best place not only for WB Staff, but also for public to know what WB does, what its missions and also for knowledge sharing.

This bookstore contains carefully curated, hard-to-find books that I depend on for my research as a writer of screenplays that treat the human experience of international issues.

The InfoShop is a World Bank institution, a destination in its own right, a sanctuary (like many other bookshops) and a rich source of knowledge, not to mention pleasure. To close WBG's own Politics and Prose would be a PR own goal as well as a loss to all those, internationally, who appreciate the place.

They are the only bookstore left in our area. They have substance materials and the prices are decent. Please keep them open.

Infoshop is good place to find new WBG publications and other good reads. It is a WBG icon that talks to visitors about WBG mission and operations.

This is an amazing resource for sharing the work and knowledge of the World Bank and others in the field of international development, strategically located just steps from the White House. Closing it would be a great loss.

The info shop is a beautiful window into the amazing knowledge that the World Bank generates. In addition to being a great resource for Bank staff, it is also a mecca of sorts for book lovers in the area. It is a part of our history - let's not turn our backs on this important aspect of the Bank.

Info Shop is a wonderful addition to our city for those who want to understand more about international economics and development. I cannot understand why it would be closed when it adds so much to a greater understanding of the work of the IFIs as well as to a deeper understanding of other cultures.
