\n The Strand is taking a stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to board up the windows,\u201d said Nancy Bass Wyden, third-generation owner of the famed East Village bookstore.<\/p>\n

Its \u201c18 miles of books\u201d have been under lockdown since the pandemic began, but now a new threat to the 93-year-old business has emerged \u2014 looters and rioters marauding through the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe I just feel like they see our signs all over our walls, and they see that we\u2019re begging people to order from us online,\u201d she said of the larcenous mobs. \u201cSo I\u2019m hoping that the bookstore gets spared.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wyden theorizes looters are in search of corporate-run retailers and banks, not her independently owned shop containing 2.5 million used, new and rare volumes.<\/p>\n

Yet on Sunday night graffiti saying \u201cF\u2013k NYPD\u201d and \u201cNYPD SMD\u201d was spray-painted on the Broadway and East 12th Street facade, which was designated a city landmark last summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spent Monday morning cleaning it up,\u201d said James Odum, the store spokesman.<\/p>\n

Bibliophiles flooded the beloved business, which survived the Great Depression and 9\/11, with worried messages.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcern largely stemmed from footage aired on various news<\/a> stations of protests in front of the store, including a viral clip of a police officer waving his gun around at protesters,\u201d explained Odum.<\/p>\n

Instead of retreating, the store is reaching out to the community in the time of strife.<\/p>\n

Ten percent of sales between Monday and Friday will be donated to Black Lives Matter, Odum said.<\/p>\n

And the store sent out a blast email detailing its expansive collection of African American studies titles.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Lives Matter is obviously central to the movement, so we figured it was in our best
<\/br>
\ninterest to put our money towards them,\u201d Odum said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI unfortunately woke up to a handful of \u2018All Lives Matter\u2019 emails, but that\u2019s to be expected.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
