We have really had to have an experience with back and forth oh been, closed, up and down, happening with everybody across the country. We take a little step forward and then have to back up a little bit. Think that is the mold of the day as they would say. When we shut down we pivoted right away to online sales but it took a little while for that to happen. We quickly moved ourselves to online sales and began to excel through the online website. In addition to that, we also have added the phone calls, emails, instagram, facebook requests as well, which was really a big surprise for us. Alyson has really managed all of the online sales, which means we are sending books out from the store directly to people then we kind of moved toward having people pick up the door because the governor did lift some of our restrictions and allowed for curbside we call it door pickup because our curb is full o

Columnist for slate. Com. This is another social distancing social in partnership with the new America Foundation and Arizona State university. Today we are talking about the future books and the National Political writer for cnn politics. Thanks for having us.
