By now we suspect everyone has heard that Borders Books has filed for bankruptcy after losing $168 million in 2010.
They’ve hired a company called Hilco to come in to liquidate and close 200 Borders stores around the U.S….that’s a lot of book store employees out of work, folks.
Want to know if your local Borders will still be around? Go here and see.
In the meantime, find a local bookstore in your town and go buy a book from them this week, please.
Yes ... the one near us closed already. It is sad. And to think I almost had a job there (demonstrating e-readers on the weekend). I guess I would be unemployed if I'd taken it.
