Shop Indie Bookstores Safely During Quarantine

3/20/2020

Book lovers,

Now more than ever, you need books, and bookstores need your business. Booksellers are working overtime to offer new ways to keep you reading while taking coronavirus safety measures. 

Be a hero and place your orders with indie bookstores. Now and forever, especially since that Amazon guy is "deprioritizing" books. Now's the time.

Need recommendations? Check out our Midwest Indie Bestseller List to see what's hot right now.
  1. Buy books and other merchandise from the website of your favorite indie to ship to your home
  2. Call and ask for curbside pick-up or delivery
  3. Buy a gift card for yourself or someone in need
  4. Buy audio books at libro.fm, the indie-friendly audio book company. As a response to the coronavirus, when you start a membership at libro.fm, you get two audiobooks for the price of one and 100% of your payment will goes to your local bookstore
  5. Avoid Amazon by shopping at the new indie-friendly online bookstore, Bookshop.org, which is now sharing a higher percentage of this sales directly with indie bookstores to help them weather this storm 

crisis = opportunity / quarantine = reading 📚💕📚
