Newtonville Books Reading Challenge

Newtonville Books Needs Our Help

Dear Member,

First and foremost, I hope you and yours are remaining safe and sane during this very trying time.  It’s inspiring to see everyone try to work together during this crisis.

As you know by now, the bookstore has temporarily closed as a precaution about our beloved community of readers becoming infected.  You can see our full statement about the Covid-19 pandemic on our website. And below find some links to recent press about the bookstore’s closing.

Along with so many other small businesses, this interruption in business will cause substantial financial harm to Newtonville Books.  To blunt the damage, we’re asking members to consider purchasing a gift certificate as a pledge for a future purchase once we’re open again.

Here is the link for gift certificates:

Or perhaps your membership has expired and you’d like to renew.  All memberships are frozen until we reopen so everyone can enjoy the full 12 months.

Here is the link for memberships:

Lastly, if you could forward this email to anyone in the community who might want to support independent bookselling, we’d be grateful.

Best wishes to you and yours. We can’t wait to see you in the bookstore again.

Mary Cotton
Owner, Newtonville Books

P.S.  A special THANK YOU to those of you who have already purchased a gift certificate!
