TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST

An essential worker was exposed to COVID over the weekend so we are closing this week until we have more information. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and will keep you updated via our website. There will be a skeleton staff here working on fulfilling orders but we will not be able to answer the phone. Thank you for your concern; these are certainly tough times and we'll work hard to catch up as soon as we can. Please stay safe; we care about you and yours. The Book Shack will be open for pickup from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
