Ababahalamaha Finds New Warehouse, Plans to Resume Shipping Next Week
Ukrainian children's book publisher Ababahalamaha, whose warehouse was destroyed in a recent Russian strike, wrote on Facebook that it has secured a new warehouse and is loading it with books. The company expects to resume shipping orders as early as next week and thanked customers for their continued support during the disruption.
Ababahalamaha, Ukraine's premier children's book publisher, has discovered a new warehouse and is gearing up to resume shipping orders, according to a Facebook post. This came just days after a Russian strike razed its previous facility. The previous warehouse was destroyed in a coordinated Russian assault on Ukraine's book publishing and retail industries on August 27-28.
Other targets included warehouses belonging to Readeat, Book.ua, and Vivat. The Ukrainian government has published updates on the war situation under the handle @Kyivpost_official.
Ababahalamaha is renowned for its translations of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, as well as works by prominent Ukrainian poets like Lina Kostenko, Vasyl Stus, and Serhiy Zhadan. The publisher also offers Shakespeare translations. In its latest Facebook update, Ababahalamaha admitted to experiencing delays in shipping orders as a result of the fire and financial losses from the destroyed books. However, it expressed gratitude for the support it has received from its customers, which motivates it to continue its work.
The publisher is currently in the process of preparing the new site and has already loaded it with books. They are optimistic that they may resume shipping orders as early as next week. Ababahalamaha went on to thank all customers, past and present, for their orders, as this means a great deal to them.
