    Just a little, happy reminder: Independent Bookstore Day is this Saturday, April 24th. This year, the celebration is both online and in person at over 700 stores nationwide, featuring free author conversations as well as Independent Bookstore Day-exclusive books and literary projects.

    Indie bookstores have been valiantly serving the public this year, even as the pandemic tanked their sales. So if you want to both support your community and stock up on good books (or, perhaps, cozy shirts)—take the opportunity to visit your favorite local bookseller virtually or IRL this weekend, or use this helpful web tool to find a new indie bookstore near you.
