One of our long time and faithful suppliers of New Zealand material, the Arts Centre Bookshop, is now sadly out of business following the earthquake. I spoke to Darryl this morning and he is currently looking for a new job and does not expect to be back in business for possibly 1-2 years but it also depends on whether/if he can get back into his business. From page 1 of today’s Press it does not sound good. They have also regularly supplied the Central and Education libraries with titles on approval. Darryl will keep us posted but in the meantime we will need to look at alternative suppliers. Tim Stedman
