Why Shopping Local This Indie Bookstore Day Is More Important Than Ever Several independent book store owners are encouraging people to go out to their local independent bookstores to buy some novels to help celebrate Independent Bookstore Day and keep independent busines...

Need an excuse to buy more books? Now you have one! Saturday is Indie Bookstore Day! Show your favorite indie some love.

Don’t worry, the perfect date where all you need is a light jacket can also happen on April 26 for #IndieBookstoreDay
