Closed Keep Bookshops open as an essential business

Closed on

Keep book shops open as essential during tier 4 and lockdowns.

During a lockdown or tier 4 restrictions, bookshops have been deemed as non essential shops, however, I and a lot of people disagree with this.
In the first lockdown, in march, books became such an integral part of their lives, whether that be to escape or something to do whilst at home. So why are you choosing to close off that joy now.
