ABOUT USAlthough The Printed Garden is a new store, it has been built on a foundation of over twenty-five 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!

WE'RE

We appreciate your patience over the course of the last year and, as I've interacted with you in the store over that year, have discovered that the vast majority of our guests have appreciated our caution. My top priority is creating a safe place for you to spend time. Before Covid-19, that meant a space that was free of intolerance and prejudice, where everyone felt safe being whoever they wanted to be and expressing their veiws without fear of reprisal. During the pandemic, that changed to working hard to create a space that was physically safe. And I felt that we did as much very successfully. We couldn't have done it without you!
The latest research has bore out that the vaccines work. Vaccinated people appear to only very infrequently become re-infected and, when they do, they experience only the most minor symptoms. Vaccinated people do not appear to carry Covid-19 to others at all. Beginning June 1st, we will return to our regular pre-shutdown hours (on top of the main page) and appointments will no longer be required to come into the store - the doors will, quite simply, be open. We'll now operate with two minimal restrictions. 1.) Masks will still be required for entry into the store, and likely will be until the state of Utah hits adequate numbers to achieve herd immunity. 2.) We will reserve the right to limit the number of people in the store at one time to avoid any type of crowding. A number would be arbitrary and our store is rarely crowded outside of our author events, but this number will be around 5-7 people (accommodating two parties in the store at the same time). |
