\"\"<\/a>This Saturday, April 27, is Independent Bookstore Day<\/a> in Canada!\u00a0 Why would you buy books from an independent, rather than a chain or a giant superstore type seller?\u00a0 Well.\u00a0 Independent bookstores are owned and operated by book lovers, also known as readers.\u00a0 And they sell books.\u00a0 You might also find some book-themed t-shirts or socks, a few games, or puzzles.\u00a0 But – the majority of the store will be filled with BOOKS.\u00a0 The books being sold will have been chosen carefully and it is likely that many of them will have been read by some staff member, so when you ask for help choosing, the staff will know the books.
\nSome independent bookstores are specialty stores and some are more general – regardless, they are full of treasures!\u00a0 A few of our local independent bookstores are:
\nKidsbooks<\/a>: of course this store focuses on kids’ books.
\nIron Dog Books<\/a> & Massy Books<\/a>: while both have all sorts of books, they are especially great for books with an Indigenous focus.
\nUpstart & Crow<\/a>: focuses on small and independent presses, and titles from local and international emerging authors
\nPulp Fiction<\/a>: sells only<\/strong> books – new and used
\nThere are other independent bookstores in our community.\u00a0 Look for one near you.\u00a0 And on Saturday, get out and support an independent bookseller.\u00a0 They support our right to read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
