After adopting the IndieBound program in May, independent bookstores throughout the United Kingdom had their IndieBound signs, shirts, and logos on display during Independent Booksellers Week.

The event, sponsored by the Booksellers Association of the United Kingdom and Ireland, ran from June 14 to 21. Over the course of Independent Booksellers Week, U.K.  bookstores hosted events, authors visited stores, publishers offered special discounts, and customers had the opportunity to win prizes from both their local booksellers and from the Booksellers Association.

Watch for a report on Independents Week celebrations in the U.S. in next week's BTW. ABA members who would like to share photos and details of their Independents Week activities are encouraged to send an e-mail to Content Development Director Rosemary Hawkins.
