Support Independent Bookstores!

Now more than ever, it’s vitally important to support the independent bookstores that have had to shift the way they do business during the Covid-19 pandemic.

We encourage readers to visit indiebound.org to locate an independent bookstore near you. If you can’t visit the bookstore in person, you can order by phone or online, either through their own website (preferred), or at bookshop.org. We want them to be there when it’s time to reopen!
