“Consumers control the marketplace by deciding where to spend their money. If what a bookstore offers matters to you, then shop at a bookstore. If you feel that the experience of reading a book is valuable, then read the book. This is how we change the world: we grab hold of it. We change ourselves.” ― Ann Patchett, bestselling author and co-owner of Parnassus Books |
Saturday is the day to celebrate the important part that bookstores play in our communities. Visit your local bookstore. Many have special events throughout the day, including author appearances. Use the interactive map to locate a store near you. If you can't make it "in person" consider making an online purchase to support local bookstores. Indiebound is an online tool which can be used to make online purchases from independent bookstores. |
This all day celebration includes exclusive merchandise created for Independent Bookstore Day. There are some real gems here! I am drooling over several of them. Can't wait to head to an independent bookstore to check them out. Details here. Join the Party! | |
