Bookshops all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey are closed as non-essential businesses, but bookworms who are low on their supply of reading materials are not out of luck.
Many local independent bookshops, in fact, are still operating virtually, offering new books and gift cards — and sometimes, even audiobooks. And if you aren’t in need of a new title but still want to support your local bookseller, some are accepting donations to keep operations running via crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe.
Here, we’ve rounded up more than a dozen Philadelphia-area indie bookshops that can still help you get your reading fix. Check out the list below:
A Novel Idea
This East Passyunk shop is selling books on its website, where you can browse titles and place an order — or you can have books sent to you via its Bookshop.org page. Co-owner Christina Rosso-Schneider recently published her first book, She Is A Beast, which can be shipped or delivered locally. Don’t need a book right now? Consider donating to their GoFundMe campaign, buying a gift card, or attending an online event.
Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse
2578 Frankford Ave., 215-427-3300, comics.amalgamphilly@gmail.com, amalgamphilly.com
Brickbat Books
While it may not have an online store, this Queen Village shop is still selling books by email, and touts a shipping rate of $4 for any size order — and neighborhood delivery, too. Contact the shop for details or availability, or pick up a gift card online.
Hakim’s Bookstore
Harriett’s Bookshop
This woman-centric Fishtown bookshop, named for abolitionist Harriett Tubman, is accepting orders for shipping via its online store. The shop also recently organized an “Essentials for Essentials” effort, where customers can pay for a book to be delivered to workers in the emergency departments at local Philly hospitals.
Head House Books
Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books
The Doylestown Bookshop
Main Point Books
Narberth Bookshop
Montco readers are in luck thanks to Narberth Bookshop, which is taking orders for delivery via email. To order, contact them with the titles you’d like to purchase, as well as your phone number and street address, and payment can be handled electronically. The shop indicates online that it is able to make deliveries in Bala Cynwyd, Merion, Wynnewood, Ardmore, and, of course, Narberth.
