Choosing local when buying books is more than just where you shop: You’re protecting creativity. You’re defending the freedom to read. You’re uplifting diverse voices. You’re investing in neighbors. Today, and every day, we celebrate and support indie bookstores. Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

Independent Bookstore Day is TWO days away, but we’re starting the celebration a little early with a collection of free ebooks by indie authors! Check out the list: bookshop.org/lists/indie-...

You know what’s better than free two-day shipping? Knowing you’re the reason your local bookstore still exists.

For so long Amazon has had a monopoly on selling self-published books. Good to see that @bookshop.org is ready to compete in the space! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Mind if I share some exciting news? We’ve officially raised over $45 MILLION for local bookstores 🥳

Bookshop.org is SIX today. 🥳 In these six years, we’ve raised over $44 MILLION for local bookstores—and we have all of YOU to thank for that. Thank you for loving and supporting indie bookstores as much as we do.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

I don’t have anything funny or witty to offer as a balm for what we’re currently living through. But, what I do want you to know is that there is a human behind this account and humans behind this brand that are hurting with you. Sending hugs across the internet to everyone who needs one. 💜

Standing with and sending extra love to our Minneapolis bookstore friends and their entire community today 💜

Indie bookstores are run by incredible humans who actually care about the world and people around them, who open their doors to those who need it, who speak out against injustice and demand better. If you need somewhere to be today, your local bookstore is waiting to welcome you with open arms. 💜

If you’re in Minneapolis and need a place to just BE right now, Big Hill Books and Birchbark Books & Native Arts are both open and ready to welcome you with open arms.
