One day. Fifty states. 1000+ bookstores.
JOIN US FOR THE 12TH ANNUAL INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY!
Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April. Every store is unique and independent, and every party is different. But in addition to authors, live music, cupcakes, scavenger hunts, kids events, art tables, readings, barbecues, contests, and other fun stuff, there are exclusive books and literary items that you can only get on that day.
A huge thank you to our 2025 lead co-sponsors:
