Independent Bookstore Day is in one week and we are participating in the Twin Cities Passport.

Starting Wednesday, April 24, you can pick up our FREE pocket-sized Passport at any of the 28(‼) participating bookstores. Then, you’ll have five days (until Sunday, 4/28) to get your Passport stamped at as many shops as you can. Each stamped page gets you a future discount at that store, and if you get stamps from at least 15 stores, you can enter to win one of a dozen awesome Prize Packs—details on those coming soon. If you get stamps from all 28 stores, you’ll be eligible to win a Grand Prize worth $700!
