Gibson's Bookstore and the COVID-19 crisis
We want you to know what we are doing during this developing crisis. The health and safety of the public and of our booksellers is of primary importance.We're following the dictates and advice of responsible medical and state authorities.
1) We have reduced our hours. Gibson's will be closed to the public, but open for curbside service only, Tues-Sat., 10 AM-4 PM. We're open for online business 24/7.
2) All of our public events, including book club meetings, have been cancelled or postponed, through events scheduled in mid-April. We'll be assessing later events as we move closer to them--we're in close contact with those writers and publishers now.
3) We encourage everyone to shop our inventory from home, via our website (
www.gibsonsbookstore.com), or just email or call to ask what we have in stock, or could order for you. We will have
99 cent shipping on all orders over $10 for the foreseeable future, and also offer
free curbside service. Just call
603-224-0562 or email
gibsons@gibsonsbookstore.com to arrange any of these services. We'll be here from 10-4 Tuesday-Saturday for sure, and before and after those hours to do inside work, including deep cleaning.
4) Call us for recommendations! Our non-book inventory is not generally featured on our website, but we have one of the best collections of toys and games in the area. Call us up to talk it over!
5) We also encourage everyone to buy our
gift cards (which are also available as
online gift codes). These are essentially IOUs that we will satisfy when things get back to normal, but for now they provide essential cashflow for when we need it the most. Again--support local businesses!
Let's all stay smart, stay safe, and stay healthy. We can get through this if we all work responsibly together!
