COVID-19 Support Roundup
In response to the current global COVID-19 pandemic we have seen an increase in requests to share fundraisers and other promotional content to help those in the book community that have been affected. Here is a place to post book-related responses that normally would run afoul of Rule 3.1 or 3.5 regarding promotional posts or sales links.
If you see a book-related sale, fundraiser, or other book-related coronavirus responses that you want to share with the r/books community, this is the place to share it.
Mods will not be checking the validity of shared fundraisers, so please do your own due diligence before contributing, but we encourage you to report anything that doesn't seem above board. There may be a slight delay in comments being visible as mods will have to manually approve those that include content that is generally against the rules.
Stay safe, and keep reading!

I’m one of the laid off Powell’s workers. Most of us were just permanently let go a couple days ago. You can support both us and the store by ordering through our affiliate link, where 7.5% of what you spend goes to our worker relief fund: https://www.powells.com/?partnerID=35751
Or consider donating directly to the workers here: https://ilwulocal5.com
