Independent Bookstore Day 2022
Saturday, April 30
Pull on your leg warmers and dig out your windbreaker, this year we’re celebrating Independent Bookstore Day, by taking it back to 1982!
What is independent bookstore day anyway?
A celebration of bookstores, books, readers, authors, and the whole bookish ecosystem. It takes place on one day at more than 500 individual independent bookstores all over the country. Thank you for coming to ours!
Why are we celebrating 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 page less digital downloads, bookstores are not a dying anachronism.
