Independent Bookstore Day is an annual nationwide celebration held on the last Saturday of April to honor and support independent bookstores across the country. On this day, participating indie bookstores organize special events, offer exclusive literary items, host author readings, and provide a festive atmosphere to promote the vital role these community hubs play. The event began in 2015, modeled after the successful Record Store Day, and aims to drive sales and awareness for independent booksellers. In 2024, Independent Bookstore Day falls on April 27th, with over 500 bookstores taking part through activities like book-themed games, giveaways, and merchandise sales. These unique stores serve as anchors for open discourse, cultural enrichment, and neighborhood vibrancy. |
