Alright friends!

We have unfortunately had a small covid scare. So as a result, we will be shutting down this week, to keep everyone safe and healthy!

If you remember, this was going to be our last week open, so change of plans! Next week, February 1 - 5 will be our last week open. The whole store will be 50% off(minus consignment items)

So, give us time to recover this week, and we will see you next week for the biggest sale week we’ve ever had!

Alexander Books community,

Thank you all for your dedication to Alexander Books and the support you have given us over the many years.

It is with great sadness that we must announce that we will be closing our store front and navigating solely to an online sales space that will be operated and managed by the owners.

It is due to countless hardships that have been endured on an economic, social, and personal front over the past two years that we have chosen to make this tough decision. We truly believe in the mission of Alexander Books and hope that the name will continue in some way.

Alexander books would not be the space and culture it is known as, without the community that has held it up over all these years. Thank you for being a part of that. Our last day of operation as a storefront will be January 28, 2022.

Stay tuned for updates about sales and our new online space.
