Book Beat will be closing our doors at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 23 and will remain closed to the public until at least April 13, in accordance with Governor Whitmer’s shelter in place order. Even though we can’t have anyone in the store, we will do our best to try and help you find the books you need.

If you’re an audiobook fan you can help us by signing up with the audiobook subscription service at libro.fm/bookbeat.

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?

But just to be explicit, you will now only ship books to customers, right?
Our door is closed but any book order called in or emailed and paid in advance can be picked up– curbside during our new hours 10AM-5 PM.
Will you be able to ship to an out of state address?
Yes, we ship out of state daily.
I’d like to order and do curb side, however, I do not use credit cards.
I’ve been a check paying customers for the past two-three years, but haven’t been inside for a number of months.
I’m wondering if I can mail a check in. Please reply.
Hi Teresa, No problem, you can mail us a check when you know the amount or slip it through our front mailbox. Thank you, we appreciate your support!
