What is Independent Bookstore Day?
Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April.
Why celebrate independent bookstores?
Independent bookstores are not just stores, they’re community centers and local anchors run by passionate readers. They are entire universes of ideas that contain the possibility of real serendipity. They are lively performance spaces and quiet places where aimless perusal is a day well spent.
In a world of tweets and algorithms and pageless digital downloads, bookstores are not a dying anachronism. They are living, breathing organisms that continue to grow and expand. In fact, there are more of them this year than there were last year. And they are at your service.
Please join us for the following special events and activities:
On-going art exhibition in the coffeehouse: Papier mache work by Ulla Anobile; Natonal Park posters by the Stowe Collective
Throughout the day: Where’s Waldo contest, Poetry writing contest, give-aways, book drawings & more.
