Quarantining may be giving you a little extra time to catch up on reading, or maybe you have a child or teenager looking for a new book to read? Looking for something to distract you from the news and day-to-day life? Bookstores across the country are offering online ordering and shipping of books, as well as virtual events and even some discounts. We have compiled a list of bookstores that are continuing operations, via curbside pick up and/or direct shipping. We hope this helps some readers find the perfect book to keep them company during social distancing, while support independent sellers.
Many bookstores are also using Bookshop, an online store that partners with independent sellers. There is a map on their website where you can look up specific stores and purchase directly from them, in which case all the profits will be given to the store. Otherwise, money from sales is collected in a pool and then distributed to independent bookstores throughout the country.
Bookstores marked with an asterisk are holding virtual events—such as author readings, story times, and book clubs. Check out their websites for updates.
Feel free to contact us if you would like to be added to our list!
