Closed!

So...the 'Book Cave' closed today as did the Australian border. Only Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents can now enter the country. Unfortunately they can't get into the 'Book Cave' because that is closed to everyone except staff of course. Yes, staff will still be working behind closed doors and hopefully find some way of still being able to provide some  service to our community. Being casually employed I was a little concerned about what would happen to the likes of me but it seems we will still get some hours in the week for as long as we or the 'Book Cave' remain virus free.Most customers have taken the news well but some feel it an over- reaction. I think after hearing 450 people died yesterday in Italy, which is one sixth of their total of deaths occurring in one day, we cannot be complacent about all this. We really do not need to hoard toilet paper however but we do need to make sure we take more care of ourselves and, where we can, of others.It is a time for kindness but be safe all.
