Well today was supposed to be Independent Bookstore Day. Instead of celebrating in person, let's celebrate the stores all over the country who are making the necessary sacrifices to keep their communities safe and healthy. Here's to everyone doing their part.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! This is a favorite photo. Someone asked me who takes these & I said, “Well I stand in the road during a blizzard like an idiot until I get something that looks nice.” I just feel bookstore comes alive when she’s lit up against a dark, snowy night. https://t.co/9GTWaD5K30

@neilhimself Tomorrow is meant to be Independent Bookstore day. Postponed, but I'm still sad. Here’s a Seattle store boarded up and muralized. Hope everyone buys online from local indies so they’re still here on the other side of all this. https://t.co/5ODyMW8NqS

Independent Bookstore Day Facts & Quotes

Consumers control the marketplace by deciding where to spend their money. If what a bookstore offers matters to you, then shop at a bookstore. If you feel that the experience of reading a book is valuable, then read the book. This is how we change the world: we grab hold of it. We change ourselves. Ann Patchett, bestselling author and co-owner of Parnassus Books
