This Saturday, April 28th is Independent Bookstore Day. Not an official holiday by any means but it might as well be at our house. We love Independent Bookstore’s, both of our girls almost always have a book close by.
Lucky for us Minnesota has several bookstores for us to browse and find unique books. If you get near Red Wing, stop by Fair Trade Books and pick up a copy of the Midwest Indie Bookstore Map. The map is a way for you to explore bookstores all over the state on your own time, not just on Saturday.
For some extra fun on Independent Bookstore Day you can pick up a passport at any of the 18 participating 18 metro bookstores. A chance to check out a store or two you may have not heard of, win some prizes, find some great books and do some exploring. You can find out more information here.
The Star Tribune has an article listing several special events happening during the day as well. You can find the article here.
