"Booksellers have fought and cried, given up, and started over. They have mourned the bookstore casualties and encouraged others to join the cause. They have dedicated their lives to the amorphous ideal that is bookselling. While there are many miles to go, booksellers deserve a day of celebration; a day to show the world the good they have done and the power a community bookstore can have. Because, as Marion Dodd understood… the selling of books has always been personal."

Read more from Lanora Jennings, who has been a bookseller for 30 years. She is the Midwest Sales Representative for Princeton and Yale University Presses and is working on a book about the history of independent bookstores in America.

Princeton University Press is proud to celebrate independent booksellers everywhere.

Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay!!! 🥳📚️🎈

In case you didn't know, Independent Bookstore Day is a national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April. In addition to author events, live music, scavenger hunts, story times, art tables, readings, contests, and activities, there's exclusive merchandise that you can only get on that day.

Since every participating store is independent, every party is unique! Check in with your local indie — in person, by phone, online, or social media — to see how they'll be celebrating!

We can’t wait to see you out there! #ForewordReviews

🦇 Hey there, my fellow bookish bats! I hope you're having an amazing weekend so far, with one common thread binding us all: a trip to an indie bookstore in celebration of Independent Bookstore Day!

📚 With competition like Amazon or big chains like Barnes & Noble, indie bookstores are continuing to struggle. In fact, many chains like Barnes & Nobles a drawing in customers by using the same marketing tactics and offering the same personalized experiences indie bookstores have for years. Long-forgotten stores have gone out of business as a result.

📚The oldest bookstore in the world, Livaria Bertrand, was opened in Lisbon, Portugal in 1732. It's still operational, namely because beloved book dragons still find themselves lost among the shelves to this day. Independent Bookstore Day, however, wasn't started until 2015. Since then, book dragons have celebrated their love for the unique and charming independent bookstores known best to the locals in their area. Visiting independent bookstores gives us the chance to connect with our community; with likeminded book lovers, speed readers, and budding young bookworms ready to find their new favorite read.

📚 Today, I visited two local indie bookstores: Charis Books (@charisbooksandmore) and Bookish (@bookishatlanta), both located in Atlanta, GA. They both offer far more than books: they offer a temporary home to readers in the area.

📚 Here are a few other ways you can support the indie bookstores in your area: 🌙 Shop at an indie bookstore 🌙 Share about your shopping spree on social media 🌙 Attend an event at your local bookstore 🌙 Start working at an indie bookstore

🦇 How are you celebrating #IndependentBookstoreDay?

A beautifully written card and a beautifully chosen gift (wishing there was sniff-a-gram right about now) from the gorgeous @theharetortoisebooks family (quite literally) and their fabulous customers. I had such a fun day visiting the store, signing books, having an incredible dinner where I laughed ‘till it hurt and then book club! What more could you ask for?!? Thank you.
