BANK OF BOOKS & ABEDNEGO BOOK SHOPPE                                      NEED YOUR HELP TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN

WE WANT TO CONTINUE BEING A PROVEN BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY
  
WILL YOU HELP?
 
  Bank of Books and its sister store, Abednego Book Shoppe, suffered financial damage of over $55,ooo last year.

We gave a State of the Union notice and started an emergency sale of up to 90% off everything in the store.  

Please share this message with family, friends, and neighbors.  Your continued support will be greatly appreciated as always.  We have an amazing collection of inventory available to you at terrific prices. 

IT IS ONLY WITH YOUR SUPPORT THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN.
 
 
$48,000 IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY
 
ANY AMOUNT WILL BE ACCEPTED GRATEFULLY.
 
Funds will be used for rent, housing, payroll, and vendors.  We are blessed with a committed team of hardworking people.  Vendors have supported us along the way and they need to be brought current as well.

Over the years we have donated over 300, 000 books to the public and schools to show our support.  We come to you now and ask you to contribute to keep BANK OF BOOKS and ABEDNEGO BOOK SHOPPE open.

We are hopeful for a bright future with a number of exciting events and festivals planned for both stores.  For example:

·     The California Literary Hall of Fame is being completed, which will be a tourist attraction benefitting Ventura County.

·     One benefactor has committed $2000 to match the first $2000 that comes in to help us get started.
 
PLEASE

GIVE WHATEVER YOU CAN.
 
  
$1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $1000, $5000, any amount you can.
