Outside the front door of Main Street Books sits a three-tiered cart with neatly stacked brown bags filled with books. The "Curbside Pickup" cart, which sits outside Main Street Books, was born out of the coronavirus pandemic. Courtesy of Main Street BooksMain Street Books is on Main Street in Davidson, North Carolina, nestled between another local business, Summit Coffee, and a Fifth Third Bank. In 2018, the best-selling author David Sedaris came to Main Street Books for a reading. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, like most businesses, Main Street Books was forced to close.
