Independent Bookstore Day

For all those who consider themselves bookworms, book enthusiasts or book lovers, Independent Bookstore Day is back! Spokane is a thriving hub for independent bookstores, including the area’s oldest bookstore in downtown Spokane, Auntie’s, which is ready to celebrate this annual occasion. Special in-store events include book signings with local authors Courtney Davis and Bethany Bennett, giveaways of free advanced reader book copies for every $10 spent, free merch, and a raffle for several themed gift packages. Auntie’s celebration runs all day on Saturday, but some deals are scheduled so check their website for details. Consider stopping by other locally owned shops, too, like Jupiter’s Eye, Wishing Tree and the Well-Read Moose for even more Independent Bookstore Day events.
