Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April. Due to COVID-19 this special event has been moved to today!
While this celebration is markedly different this year, it is still cause to rejoice. It is our day to support the little guy, whether in person or online.One of my favorite independent bookstores is one I visited for the first time this week on our drive to La Jolla. Warwick's has been serving Book Lovers for 124 years and counting! It is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated bookstore in the United States. From Mankato, Minnesota, to Waterloo, Iowa and finally to La Jolla, Warwick's has changed locales and buildings, but, with determination and the support of the community, remains a vibrant fourth-generation family business. How very awesome and so very worth supporting.
“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road.
They are the destination, and the journey.
They are home.”
– Anna Quindlen in How Reading Changed My Life
