November - WE ARE OPEN!
Hi all! Here we go again…
Thank you so much for your enquiries, support and encouragement since the second lockdown announcement. Knowing you are behind us means everything!
You heard it right, from Friday 6th November… WE ARE OPEN.
As a seller of essential food and household items we are delighted to remain open during this second lockdown period.
THROUGHOUT NOVEMBER - WE ARE OPEN…
Mon / Wed / Fri / Sat from 10am - 4pm
The shop floor will be open for the sale of essential food and household items.
We will not be open for you to browse our bookshelves, but if you have ordered books or household items online or via the phone you will be able to collect them during these opening hours! Place your order today!
All staff and volunteers will be operating on reduced hours, so please be patient with us! We will respond and fulfill your order as soon as we can. As previously there may be some disruption with the postal service and our suppliers, so if you are able to collect your order from the shop, please do. If you are not able to collect from the shop, volunteers will be undertaking local deliveries where possible.
If you choose to pop by in person, please remember to scan the QR code at the door if you have downloaded the NHS App, sanitise your hands, and wear a face covering.
If you have some extra cash in your pocket please please consider purchasing an additional item for the foodbank. The need there is huge at the moment. Ask a team member if you need any suggestions of what to purchase, and we’ll drop it in to Basics Bank first thing on Monday morning.
If you are not local to Southampton but would still like to support us here at October Books, please order your chosen titles via our storefront at Bookshop.org. A percentage of your sale goes to us, so you get your books and an accompanying warm fuzzy feeling knowing you’ve shopped locally, independently and without a penny going to Am*zon. Well done you :)
Stay safe, be brave, let’s pull together and do this!
Love from the OB Team xx
