Independent booksellers nationwide are invited to e-mail [email protected] [10] to sign up to host a book club or to share ideas; be sure to include your name, store name, city, and state. Stores that have already signed up are featured on an interactive map on IndieBound.org [11]; as stores continue to sign up to host WRBG book clubs, they will be added to this map so customers can find a book club near them. 

Bookstores can also visit the designated Well-Read Black Girl page [6] on BookWeb.org to download marketing assets [12], including a WRBG website stamp, banners, and e-cards, and to join a private Facebook Group [13].
