Your Weekend Is Booked
By Jillian Manning | April 23, 2022
Saturday, April 30, is Independent Bookstore Day, a national celebration of the hometown stores that connect us with the written word. These are the shops that bring authors to your town, find that rare book you can’t get on eBay, and employ literature lovers in your community. Independent Bookstore Day is the perfect time to stock up on your summer beach reads or thrillers to read around a late-night bonfire. Bookstores across the North will have various giveaways, prizes, raffles, and discounts to encourage folks to shop local and dive into a good story. For ease of shopping, here is a non-exhaustive list of bookstores open April 30 in our region: Horizon Books (Traverse City and Cadillac); Brilliant Books (Traverse City); McLean and Eakin (Petoskey); Between the Covers (Harbor Springs); Round Lake Bookstore (Charlevoix); Leelanau Books (Leland); Bay Books (Suttons Bay); Cottage Book Shop (Glen Arbor); The Bookstore (Frankfort); Happy Owl Bookshop (Manistee). Check with your town’s bookseller to see how they are participating.
