Independent Bookstore Day

Bookmarks is excited to be one of more than 1,600 bookstores across the country participating in this year’s Independent Bookstore Day. Each year since 2013, the last Saturday in April has been set aside to promote, celebrate, and highlight the value of the Independent bookstore community.

Independent Bookstore Day is organized by the American Booksellers Association, a national not-for-profit trade organization, that works with booksellers and industry partners to ensure the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and to assist in expanding the community of the book.

Bookmarks is offering special discounts and a mystery gift with a $10 purchase.

This regional bookstore crawl is about more than discovering great books—it’s about celebrating reading, supporting local bookstores, and connecting with fellow bibliophiles. There’s no start or finish. Visit as many stores as you like in any order that works for you!
