Reading the Room: Adapting Your Bookstore During and After COVID-19 Gravity Talks

Independent bookstores have survived the rise of ebooks and Amazon and the ever-increasing costs of running a brick-and-mortar business, but their strength has been further tested by COVID-19. In this episode, hear from store owners Lexi Beach (Astoria Bookshop, Queens, NY) and Christy McDanold (Secret Garden Books, Seattle, WA) and Bookshop.org partnership manager Sarah High as they discuss how they’ve adapted and offer advice for retailers as they look to the future.
