Our local friends should continue to support Federal Street Books. But please, be kind and mask up!
This is what you see, plain as day, as you open the door to our business. Our mask requirement is for our safety and the safety of our customers. We have given out hundreds of free masks. Through the past several years I have taken repeated abuse for this policy to the point of needing to call the police today due to threats and refusal to leave from someone who clearly does not do much reading. I will not debate this policy; I cannot teach anyone empathy or understanding for people who are disabled or at high risk. Respect our policy, care for others, or stay out. Many thanks to all who have been kind and supportive during these very challenging circumstances.
