10: Mini - Celebrating Independent Bookstore Day
from Read the Room: A Culture Club · host readtheroomacultureclub
Did you know the last Saturday of every April marks Independent Bookstore Day? In this mini-sode hosts Alexys, Kaylin, and Larsen celebrate the upcoming occasion by breaking down the history of the holiday, as well as why it matters and why our local independent book sellers deserve more love. Our conversation includes the ongoing battle with Big Book that sellers and publishers are facing, the amazing work of public libraries, and the necessity of keeping mid-size players, like Barnes & Noble, alive. We urge you to celebrate with us this weekend by utilizing whatever purchasing power you have and shopping local or by simply spreading the word and shouting out your favorite local seller.
