ABOUT US

Although The Printed Garden is a new store, it has been built on a foundation of over twenty years of work in the book industry and a great deal of related higher education.  It is a traditional, independently owned, brick-and-mortar bookstore in Sandy's Historic Union Square shopping plaza.  When you walk in, you'll probably smell the coffee brewing - it's complimentary to our guests.  But this is Utah, after all, and if coffee's not your cup of tea, we can offer you a cup of tea (Earl Grey or Green) or a cup of hot peppermint cocoa!

OPEN BY APPOINTMENT:

- Appointments will be for a 30 minute block of browsing time (ring-up time isn't counted) and can be set on the hour.  The first available appointment of each day will be at Noon, the final appointment at 5:00 p.m.

- For your safety and ours, we're only booking one party for each time block, so you'll have the store to yourself.  Your party can be up to 3 people.

- For your safety and ours, facemasks will be required for entry to the store.  Everyone in your party must wear a mask, and it must cover both your nose and your mouth for the duration of your visit.  I will also wear a mask the entire time you're in the bookstore.  If you need to remove your mask, even momentarily, you will need to step outside to do so.  If you remove your mask in the store, your appointment will end, and you'll be asked to leave.

- Until further notice, our restroom will not be available for public use.  Please plan accordingly.

Although we now know that Covid-19 is primarily transmitted by air, we will be sanitizing the door and some surfaces in the store between each reservation, for additional protection.  

It is also now generally understood that Covid-19 can only live on a surface for about 6-8 hours.  Any books that are handled will be left on a table in the rear of the store where they'll stay overnight before being reshelved.

We've missed having you in the bookstore.  Having, and following, these safety precautions will allow us to take a big step back in the direction of normal, and we look forward to seeing you again.
