Happy Independent Bookstore Day to you and your customers!

The time has finally come to throw the biggest independent bookstore party there ever was! Wrapping up a Spirit-filled week, please know that we are cheering all 1000+ participating stores on and wishing you all a fantastic Independent Bookstore Day.

Don’t forget that any IBD participating store can enter the 10 Years of Indie Bookstore Day: An Instagram Display Contest for up to $500 for your store. You do not need to carry exclusives to enter! Remember to tag @americanbooksellers on Instagram with #IndieDisplayContest from April 24 through May 1!

Tag @americanbooksellers on Instagram and @IndieBound on Facebook on Saturday using #IndieBookstoreDay and we’ll share on our channels. We encourage you to share other stores’ celebrations as well. It’s a national party after all!

We were thrilled to see so many stores (and customers) join in on #BookstoreSpiritWeek. Thank you again to member stores Chapters Books & Gifts, Book Rack Books & Gifts, and Bettie’s Pages for sharing this idea last year!
