A big THANK YOU to all of our bookstore friends for taking time to stop by for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday! 💜

Indie bookstores thrive because of the communities who love and support them, and our community is one of the best. We are so grateful for you all!

It was especially exciting to see familiar faces return with determination to visit lots of the bookstores on this year's North of Boston Book Trail passport journey! We will continue our 20% off books sale on Sunday and look forward to seeing participants reach their passport goals!
