For those in self-isolation or those practicing social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the day-to-day could become monotonous.
That’s why an Edmonton bookstore is hoping to provide some literary relief, by making home deliveries. Glass Bookshop co-owner Matthew Stepanic, along with his dog, are driving around the Edmonton-area to make drop-offs. “Usually, I’m talking through a screen door and placing books outside, but people have been really appreciative,” explained Stepanic. “We basically moved the bookshop entirely online.
People can pick out the books they want to read and we deliver it, free of charge.” The bookstore itself, located in City Centre Mall, has been closed to encourage others to practice social distancing.
