Strolling through a bookshop, browsing through the aisles, the smell of a book and the pages the words are printed on, such a relaxing and enjoyable passtime. The knowledge that emanates from your local bookshop (or library for that matter) is captivating and draws you in.  Ahh those were the days.  But you can still enjoy a good book and we encourage you to check out Astoria Bookshop, our Business Spotlight for the week ending Friday, October 16. 

The Astoria Bookshop, located at 31-29 31st Street, Astoria, NY 11106, may have had to close their doors to in-store browsing but they are definitely open for business!  They offer contactless curbside pickup by appointment and host a number of virtual events from workshops and bedtime stories, to author interviews and book releases.  Check out their website and consider one of the many virtual events available.  And while browsing on-line, take a look at the current selection of titles available.  You can place an order and once confirmed, they will send you a ink to make an appointment for pickup.  In addition to books you can get gifts and games, and with the holiday season upon us, why not consider a personalized gift card to the Astoria bookshop?  From staff picks and audio books to greeting cards and more, the Astoria Bookshop is a definite online destination.  Support your local bookseller and tell them that Broadway Stages sent you.  BE WELL and be well-read!
