Curbside Pickup Instructions

Curbside Pickup Instructions

Every Saturday in June — 9am - 3pm

You may place your order by selecting one of two options:

 1)    Online Anytime: Place your order online by selecting the “curbside pickup” option on www.MidtownScholar.com for New books or www.MidtownScholar.us for Used books. (Please do NOT use Bookshop.org, since orders through its website are not eligible for curbside pickup. If you would like a title from Bookshop.org’s selection, let us know and we can order it for you directly!) All online orders require pre-payment.

 2)    Special Phone Orders (tel. 717 236-1680): We’re available to take your phone order on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings from 9am – 12pm. You can browse and search our New books at www.MidtownScholar.com, our Used books at www.MidtownScholar.us, and we are also able to order most new books (depending on stock availability) from our distributors to arrive in-time for Saturday pickup. All phone orders require pre-payment.

We will contact you to let you know when your order will be ready for pickup!

Your order will be available for pickup during our outdoor Saturday hours, from 9am – 3pm in front of the store at 1302 North Third Street. When you arrive, please tell us the name that you used when placing your order online or by phone and we will bring your order to you. At this time, we require all customers to wear a mask when picking up book orders or browsing our outdoor book carts, and we ask that you please respect social distancing.

 If you have a question about a book or an order and prefer email, please contact shop@midtownscholar.com.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness as we enter this new territory for bookselling. Our goal is to get you your books in a timely manner while ensuring the safety of our booksellers, customers, and community.
