All,

Three vendor related notes from early in this October week, this early Tuesday morning:

1. VOX Books issued the below statement. This would seem in response to note number two, the linked B&T news article re. the announced closure of their Momence, IL warehouse and the effective yesterday termination of most of the employees who worked there. That news article is linked below the VOX statement.

The response to our statement regarding the distribution of VOX Books has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you for contacting Library Ideas. Additionally, we have received a few questions regarding our earlier statement, which we would like to clarify and expand on.   The distribution of VOX Books by Library Ideas has been resumed effective immediately. This means Library Ideas is accepting and fulfilling all orders we receive directly. We will also provide invoices, and MARC records are available upon request.    Customers must place orders through: Our website: https://voxshop.libraryideas.com Email: orders@libraryideas.com Your Library Ideas sales representative  Questions? Contact Library Ideas by email at info@libraryideas.com or reach out to one of us directly:  Brian Downing, CEO - briand@libraryideas.com Kyle Wiseman, SVP of Worldwide Sales - kylew@libraryideas.com, 217-820-1336 Stephanie Hall, VP of Marketing - stephanieh@libraryideas.com, 571-642-3950 Taylor Harriman, VP of Business Development - taylorh@libraryideas.com, 571-642-3951  We appreciate your business!   Sincerely,  The Library Ideas Team
