Many small business owners are going online in an effort to find new ways to keep doing the things they love, safely. Bookstores are no different and many have, in fact, opened online interfaces. Supporting local business has always been important, but now more than ever this holds true. So, the next time that you need to buy a book for a class or just for fun, try one of these websites:

1. https://www.betterworldbooks.com/
   • Independent booksellers or just sellers can sell their books on the website. It has free shipping, incredibly cheap prices, and (best of all) every time you buy a book they donate one!
2. https://www.abebooks.com/
   • This is very similar to better world books, in which independent booksellers use the website as an interface for selling. This website is especially nice if you’re interested in collectible or rare books.
3. https://bookshop.org/
   • Bookshop allows you to buy directly from their affiliate independent bookstores. You can also choose specific shops you want to support and order from there.
4. https://www.indiebound.org/
   • If you are able to go in person, this website allows you to locate any indie bookstores around you. You can also read top book picks from other booksellers and listen to interviews with authors.
5. Any book shop’s website!
   • If you want to support independent businesses, the best way is to just order directly from their site, without an interface in the middle!.If you need help finding the website to a specific book store, try this article: https://bookriot.com/independent-bookstores-online/
