Binc Offers New Assistance Program

Binc supporters will offer their expertise.

Binc has announced a new program offering that will help stores rebuild and recover after a zombie attack. Executive director Pam French noted, "While we haven't yet had any bookstores come to us needing recovery assistance after a zombie attack, we want to make sure it's available when needed in the future, so we've rushed this program through the pipeline. We are proud to announce today that bookstores that have sustained damage or needed to close due to zombies can now come to Binc for help."

Assistance funds can be used to clean and disinfect buildings, replace broken and damaged fixtures, board up windows and doors, and pay rent and utilities. Binc is also working with the ABA and the bookstore training group Paz & Associates to implement "What to Do in Case of Zombie Attack" training at Winter Institute and the regional fall shows. The training will help booksellers understand the threat and prepare their bookstores and staff for possible future attacks. If your bookstore needs disaster assistance (of any kind--not just for zombies), call Binc today, 866-733-9064.
