Important Update
It’s been over three months since we had to close our doors to customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic! It feels like a lifetime ago since we were able to welcome you into the store to browse our shelves and talk about books.
In the meantime, we’ve been working hard filling orders taken by email and phone, shipping packages and putting your purchases outside our doors for curbside pickup. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your support during this perilous time. Despite the pandemic, you continued ordering from the store or from our Bookshop.org page. We thank you for your patience, kindness and concern for our health—ours, our staffs’, and the store’s itself.
Now that the COVID-19 cases have been reduced to a safer level in our area, we’ve decided to re-open to our customers on Monday, July 6. We’ve taken the normal precautions in re-opening, and will monitor Fairfield & Westchester County case numbers daily to ensure the trend is continuing in the right direction.
Our store hours will be Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from noon to 4 pm. Please note that we will continue to offer curbside pickup or shipping for those who do not want to come into the store.
We’re excited to welcome you back, but we are implementing the following rules for your safety and ours:
- Children are welcome, but only with an adult.
- Please, no more than one child per adult.
- Masks are required at all times.
- No more than 5 customers in the store at one time (please wait for a basket before entering).
- Please sanitize your hands upon entry and follow the arrows on the floor.
- Please maintain 6 foot distances with staff and other customers.
- Credit cards and checks only, no cash please.
- Bathroom is for staff use only.
Keep reading, stay safe and be kind!
With many thanks,
Ellen, Darwin and the staff
