Bethany Beach Books, Bethany Beach, Del., is opening its second location to the public next month, at 38017 Fenwick Shoals Blvd. in Selbyville. The new location will be a storefront and workspace for the company's Book Drop subscription box service.
In a recent Facebook post, the bookstore announced: "Coming soon to Fenwick Island! As an extension of Bethany Beach Books, readers can now officially visit the Book Drop! Shop bestsellers, find a hidden gem read, or pick up your Bethany Beach Books order. The Book Drop will be open to readers November 1st!"
The Book Drop is a subscription box program that was created in 2015 by Bethany Beach Books' manager & book buyer, Amanda Zirn Hudson, who "still curates every single subscription!" the bookseller noted. The program, which "strives to bring the independent bookstore experience to readers' doors all over the world via book each month... started in the little back office at Bethany Beach Books but quickly outgrew this space. We now pack every subscription by hand at our second location in Selbyville."
