Thank you all for celebrating Independent Bookstore Day! We’re already planning for the next one. Independent Bookstore Day 2024 will be Saturday, April 27! If you missed the Good Morning America segment with Celeste Ng and Books Are Magic, you can watch it now. If you ordered Independent Bookstore Day exclusives, please complete the Sell-Thru survey by Sunday, May 7. Surveys went out yesterday with your individual survey link, so check your email for the subject line “Submit your IBD Sell-Thru Data!” These surveys help us determine what exclusives to offer in the future.
