March Events
March 12, 2020 / Note: Anderson’s Bookshops have been closely following the Covid-19 outbreak and response. Guest authors make their own decisions regarding public appearances and we will present our scheduled events with those authors who continue touring. Customers should check our website for the most up-to-date information regarding event cancellations. Additionally, as the safety of our guests and employees remains our number one priority, we rely on public health guidance and endorse the CDC in asking that those experiencing symptoms stay home. —Candy Purdom for Anderson’s
