Dear Community of Readers,
We cannot thank you enough for your support and encouraging messages throughout the past few weeks, where it seems that our business model has changed by the day. We appreciate your support through all of the changes, and we are asking you to roll with us to our newest solution to get books in your hands, while keeping our booksellers safe.
The good news is that BookPeople is STILL OPEN for online orders on our personalized BookShop site: https://bookshop.org/shop/bookpeople
Here’s what this means:
-
We can continue to fulfill all of your reading needs through an amazing third party partner, while keeping our booksellers safe and directing 30% of all sales placed through our BookShop to BookPeople.
-
This will help us to keep us running things behind the scenes for when our doors are able to open again.
-
We have created some amazing, curated booklists for you to browse through on our BookShop landing page so we can highlight the books we want you to see.
-
If you have a specific title you are looking for, just search for that title through the search bar at the top and add it to your cart.
-
When you have all items in your cart, go to check out and you will see the total amount that you are contributing to BookPeople.
-
To ensure that your purchase is going towards supporting BookPeople, please be sure to use the link we’ve provided. To easily tell if you are on our page, you will see the BookPeople name and image in the top left corner.
Please note:
-
If you placed an online order with us before we made this switch, don't worry. We're still sending those your way!
-
If you placed an order for a future event: we will be communicating with all event book orders over the next week to let you know how we will be proceeding with those orders.
-
BookPeople gift cards are not able to be redeemed on our BookShop but you can hang onto them until we reopen our doors and use them at that time.
Our booksellers cannot wait for the day we will be able to swing open our doors and welcome you back into our bookstore, but until then, please know that your love and support is felt and so very appreciated. It has always been an unspeakable privilege to be your neighborhood bookstore, and it will continue to be throughout this difficult time, and far into the future.
With much love,
Your neighborhood booksellers
