Science in Schools - this is a small piece on primary science teaching and my views on the content issues and what is needed..

We have had many people asking when we are starting a Book Club for the Gold Coast. The Book Club will be starting very shortly and we have a big range of titles to discuss as well as authors visiting. It is an exciting stage for the business and it is going to be co-ordinated by a number of keen staff members to get it working. We are sending out notifications to all our store and local customers. If you are interested please contact Emma or Kylee on the work phone number to register your interest and the tentative inaugral meeting.

I was listening this morning to ABC Radio National's Fran Kelly give a cursory few words on the closure of the Red Groups A & R stores plus the other speciality book stores in the group. Over 2000 people have lost their livelihoods with the failure of this entire group! So what has caused this? What does it matter and what is the future? No mention of the collapse of the Woolridges' group and many small players.

This is the news part of it but last week the book wholesaler Scribo with unspecified job losses ceased business. There is every chance we are seeing the start of a domino effect with the loss of retail and thence wholesale businesses with the final domino being the publishers.
