What does the Wisconsin
Stay at Home Order mean for us? 

We'd like to begin by saying thank you to all of our amazing customers for the continued business, patience and understanding as we trudge through what is an unknown territory for all of us. We would also like to thank our local and regional government officials for providing strong leadership and guidance.

As you likely know as of today, Governor Tony Evers has signed a "Safer at Home" order. What does that mean for us? We want to encourage everyone to follow this order, and stay safe and healthy at home. Our operations will change a bit over the coming weeks.

Here is what has changed:

1. We will have one staff member maintaining essential back office operations from Noon to 4:00pm Wednesdays through Saturdays who can also take phone calls, take orders, and offer reading recommendations. Orders to be shipped can be processed by phone at 715-779-0200, via email at info@apostleislandsbooksellers.com, or through our online store at www.apostleislandsbooksellers.com with discounted shipping.
2. We will not be offering curbside pickup for the time being.
3. Please note, due to the high level of shipping from our main distributors, they are running 1-3 days behind schedule on shipping. Orders placed online should arrive within 3-5 business days, but we will alert you if this changes.

To stay up to date on any changes, please visit our online store at www.apostleislandsbooksellers.com, follow us on Facebook, and sign up for our email newsletter.

Finally, we want to reassure you that we continue to take the utmost precautions within the shop to keep everything clean and our staff healthy. We wash our hands religiously and scrub surfaces obsessively. Every book that leaves our shop is wiped down and then bagged or boxed up immediately.

We look forward to the time when we can finally all chat about our favorite books in person. In the meantime, check out some of the links below for a little literary relief from some of our favorite authors.
