Get those submissions in! 😁😁

The Bluegrass Bookstore Crawl will RETURN on November 6th and 7th for a Holiday Hop edition of the popular event.

But first, we're inviting YOU to help us create a logo for the event! As the Bluegrass Bookstore Crawl continues to grow, we're looking for a fun and engaging logo that will be used via print and digital marketing channels for event marketing and may also be incorporated into event merch. We are accepting design submissions from any interested book-lover. The creator of the winning design will receive a $25 gift card to each of the 8 participating bookstores!

The deadline for submission is Sunday, June 21st. Details and submission form can be found at www.bluegrassbookstorecrawl.com (link in bio!)

Hi guys! 👋🏻 We wanted to give you a heads up that The Next Chapter Bookstore will be CLOSED July 4-11 while we are on vacation. Our brains and bodies need a break and we are looking forward to some unplugged, disconnected time away.

We may have some scheduled social media posts during that time, but will not be monitoring comments, messages, or emails. We’ll return to normal operations on Tuesday, July 14th.

There’s still plenty of time to grab June’s book club picks and even more time to get a head start on July’s selections!

Romance book club meets the THIRD Tuesday of each month at 6:15. General/All-Genres book club meets the LAST Tuesday of the month at the same time.

There are no requirements to joining the book clubs, just show up! We look forward to welcoming you! 😁

🌈📚 The future is inclusive.

Stories have always helped us imagine a bigger, brighter world. This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the books, authors, and readers who remind us that everyone deserves to see themselves in a story.

Whether you’re discovering a new favorite, finding a piece of yourself on the page, or broadening your perspective, books have the power to build empathy, understanding, and connection.

Happy Pride Month from your local independent bookstore. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
