In the April Red Box...

Posted Wednesday, Apr 6, 2005

The Red Box is filled with items of interest and import for you and your business this month:

THE 2005 CAMPAIGN FOR READER PRIVACY materials
As ABA COO Oren Teicher states in his cover letter, "We have entered the final phase of the fight to restore the privacy protections of bookstore and library records that were eliminated by the USA PATRIOT Act.... Once again, ABA is joining with our allies in the Campaign for Reader Privacy to battle for amendments to Section 215."
In this month's Box you'll find a redesigned petition and bookmarks to share with your customers, both asking the question "Is Someone Reading Over Your Shoulder?" There's also a helpful Q&A sheet that can be posted with the petition pad to explain why it is imperative that your customers sign again this year.
Please note that the petition can also be downloaded at www.bookweb.org/pdf/OverYourShoulderPetition.pdf and can also be signed online at www.readerprivacy.org
If you need additional quantities of bookmarks, please contact me at mark@booksense.com.
Our sincere thanks for your continued efforts with us in this important battle!
