Brace yourself, bookworms! Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April. Every store is unique and independent, and every party is different. The Three Bells version is going to be an EXTRAVAGANZA. More details will be added later but here's the plan:
- spin-the-wheel discount game
- a chance to win a YEAR of audiobooks from Libro.FM
- free sweet treats
- author signing with local authors (see below)
- prizes hidden randomly in shopping bags throughout the day
- free make-your-own bookmarks craft for kids
- the debut of the 2026 indie bookstore maps
- new bookish items, exclusive for Indie Bookstore Day
BONUS: If you're a Three Bells Books monthly email newsletter subscriber, you get an extra mystery treat on Indie Bookstore Day! Info for how to redeem that will arrive in your inbox a few days before the event. Not on the email list? Sign up here: https://threebellsbooks.com/contact/email-list
