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.
