Our house has bookshelves that seem to bulge and overflow overnight with books. Not sure how it happens exactly. I also know that no matter how many books we have in our house, our girls can never have enough. A good problem to have, but thankfully we have some great small independent bookstores in MN to always find more.
This Saturday, April 29th is Independent Bookstore Day, a great day to get out and explore some of the treasures we have in MN. There are several in the metro, and of course there are others in various towns in MN as well. If you know of one that we don’t mention, please comment and let us know, so we can explore it.
One of our favorites, or should I say a favorite for our girls is Wild Rumpus. Located in Minneapolis, it’s a fabulous wonderland with books and even some animals wandering about the store. Wild Rumpus along with several other stores will be hosting a scavenger hunt on Saturday. You can find details and a list of participating stores here.
Another great independent stores to check out is Fair Trade Books located in Red Wing. If you are there at the right time you might catch a local author on hand or possibly even an open mic night.
So get out and support one of the Independent Bookstore treasures in our state.
