The Neat Little Bookshop has been dealt a severe blow. The owner of the property has not complied with continued, long-standing orders from the fire department. The bookshop, along with our adjacent neighbouring businesses and upstairs tenants have been CLOSED by order of the fire authorities. The building has been issued an "Immediate Threat To Life" notice from the office of the Ontario Fire Marshal.

This is a great setback for us; however, as soon as we get permission to remove our store contents and can locate a new commercial site (We have some offers.) we will notify our customers. With the brief notice that we had to evacuate today, we attempted to remove books that were ordered for customers.

It goes without saying that we apologize for any inconvenience and hope to quickly relocate. We can still be reached at 905-577-5635 or e-mail lbwalker@shaw.ca Our sincere apologies to the authors whom we had recently invited to Meet The Author Teas: John Geddes, Neil Paul and Jose Penny. We will be booking again at the earliest possible date.

Thank you for your business and your understanding. Our gratitude to our fellow business people, our family and friends who came immediately to our aid.
Lorna and John
