SSSJS! CLOSURE continued from page 1A other stores in the area fail to occupy the same niche. She said the store serves other purposes as well. "It's a great resource and referral for the lesbian and gay community and a lot of people coming into the community," she said. Rivers 1 laley said the store has been struggling financially for some time. '"[his season, as far as sales, we're not where we want to be," she said. She said many small independent bookstores are closing because of competition from large chains. Stores like Bames and Noble buy in mass quantities and are able to offer discounts on products. However, smaller independent bookstores cannot always afford to do that. "As an independent bookstore, it's been very hard to compete," Moore said. While members of the board originally thought they might have to close the store at the end of fall term, assistance from a community benefactor will enable Mother Kali's to stay open through the textbook season of winter term. The store draws at least two-thirds of its rev enue from textbook sales. "We have been struggling, but we've had wonderful community support," Moore said. Rivers Haley said the board of di rectors has been thinking of different ways to generate revenue, such as moving to a smaller space or sharing the office space with others. The store has also organized fundraising events. Board President Kathleen Kendrick said economic trends have really impacted the bookstore. "Another thing that we face is that Eugene, even in the best of times, tends to be less economically re sourceful than other parts of the country," she said. She said the store will continue to find ways to serve the communi ty, and she hopes the public will also respond. "We're hoping that the communi ty will help with the store," she said. As part of its drive to raise funds and stay open, Kendrick said the bookstore will have an art sale Dec. 20. from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Books and CDs will also be 20 percent off from Dec. 10 through Dec. 24.
