Hello,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the unexpected technical glitches that affected the opening of the Independent Bookstore Day 2027 Participation form today.

Unfortunately, the form did not open as planned today due to issues beyond our control on the chosen platform. We are working on a new form through a different platform and we will relaunch tomorrow October 2, 2026 at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and we look forward to a successful relaunch tomorrow.
