SPINSTER
Continued from p. 10
Bilye Wilew, Groton, Conn., junior and memer of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas. "It's a good resource in Lawrence. It's going to make me go out and get hold of periodicals and books, as if its not needed."
Judy Brow, one of four collective members who run Spinsters, had mixed feelings about the closing. All four members hold full-time jobs elsewhere, and the bookstore was siphoning too much energy away from the women's lives, she said.
Late last month, the collective posted a few notices and issued an open letter to the communi-
tion.
The letter stated that the store would defi.
nitely be sold or closed. But the store is only part of the package.
The collective does not plan to continue the events. The archives will go to the New York Lesbian Archives. Anyone interested can request an interview with Ms. Kavanaugh at the University of Kansas, Kansas Collection.
The non-profit bookstore provides funds for a free lending library, public-access archives, a speakers' bureau, and Webber events such as concerts, auctions and a women-artists fair.
The fate of the library is still undetermined. Browd said she hoped its books would go to a library in her city.
regional women's library.
Upon sale, what will happen to the bookstore's
inventory — books, art, records and jewelry, all made by women — is unacertain.
A bookstore employee, who asked that her name not be used, said, "Once it's sold, it's out of our control." She also wants to see the store contour in a lesbian or alternative fashion
"I think this store has been visible for new people moving into town," she said.
Brow agreed.
'Because of the nature of Spinsters meeting needs that aren't met elsewhere, I think the closing will be felt greatly in the community,' she said.
