Keep Barnes and Noble in Lahaina Open!

The Issue

The last bookstore on Maui to sell new books is coming to a close at the end of the year. After ten years on the island serving as a great place to eat, meet friends, and search for new books and music, their lease has come to an end. The lender that controls the shopping center refuses to negotiate a new lease with Barnes and Noble even though their sales are great and the store is successful.

Barnes and Noble has served as my safe haven and favorite place in Maui for years now. Without this bookstore, many children will grow up without books to read from and adults will be forced to use electronic reading. With enough noise created by the community, it is possible to attract the attention of Barnes and Noble corporate officers and the lenders of the shopping center, and hopefully get a new lease for the store.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO SAVE BARNES AND NOBLE IN LAHAINA! You can also go online to the Customer Support page https://help.barnesandnoble.com and or call them at 1-800-THE-BOOK (843-2665).
