What is Independent Bookstore Day?
Independent Bookstore Day is a yearly national celebration of independent bookstores. It takes place at indies across the country on the last Saturday in April. Every store is unique and holds their own events to celebrate the day. Each year, there are exclusive books and literary items that you can get starting only on that day, available only at independent bookstores. River Dog Book Co. will be celebrating with a three-day pop-up bookstore this year!
