East End Books Ptown, Provincetown, Mass., is currently raising money through a GoFundMe campaign to purchase the shop's location. In a letter to friends of the bookstore, owner Jeff Peters wrote: "Please donate to help us buy our bookstore space. We have just found out the bookstore space will soon be placed for sale. We have a small window of time to raise the money to purchase the store before it's officially listed for sale. Otherwise, we'll have to move or shut down, which would make us very sad! We appreciate your help!... The price will be substantial, but with your help, we can remain in Provincetown."
East End Books Ptown has raised more than $14,000 of its $25,000 goal thus far. The bookshop opened in 2017.
"We truly appreciate your support over the years!" Peters added. "It has been wonderful to see you in our bookstore and at our many book events! We're a vibrant part of Provincetown and our bookstore has fans world wide. With your help, we'll continue to be an integral part of the literary scene. We love what we do and hope to continue for years to come!"
