With the demise of Borders, there are thousands of people out of work. Colleen Lindsay, who works for the Penguin Group and is also the community manager for Book Country, Tweeted about a site that’ll offer ex-Borders employees opportunities in their area. (You’ll have to forgive me, I’m not certain if she created the site with the other contributor, Chris Kubica, or not.) You can, however, read: It Takes a Village to Support Out-of-Work Booksellers.
Instructions are on the Help Ex-Borders Employees website.

It was Colleen’s idea (she posted it on Google+). I just jumped in and said “I set up this site for it…wanna use it?” and the rest is history. Now we manage it together. 🙂
