teamstayhomeandread

Before heading home from work yesterday, I made a final stop at one of our local indie bookstores to pick up a curbside order for some highly anticipated reads before their hours of operation and services were affected by our statewide lockdown.

They are a landmark institution in our community and it saddens me that so much uncertainty lies ahead for both them as well as other small businesses.

Librariana When I called to place my order, I was greeted by Vanessa's friendly voice and she assured me that all three titles I was looking for were available on their shelves. I enthusiastically thanked her and told her how much their store means to our city... how grateful we all are for their flexibility and adaptability... their phenomenal, personalized service, especially at a time like this... and ultimately, how appreciative I was (1 of 2) 5y

Librariana for their part in granting me this small bit of happiness and normalcy amidst these troubling times.

I realize that purchasing a couple of books right now is a small luxury, one I do not take for granted, but I hope this tiny purchase can add to those of others in helping these local businesses remain with us... that we see them, open and thriving, on the other side of this pandemic 💜

Hooked_on_books Wonderful love note to your store. If you like audio, Libro.fm works with indie stores and they are doing a couple of deals right now in which all of the proceeds go to the bookstore. The options are buying one credit for $14.99 or starting a membership for that same price and getting 2 books. They have a list of stores on their site, so you can see if your store participates. It‘s a great way to support stores right now. 5y
