Summer is finally here in Maine! The lilacs and peonies are blooming, the streets are busy, and the sun is out! And... it's the perfect time to read- on the beach, in the sun, on the deck, or while waiting for your dinner at a restaurant-- or at least we think so!

My recommendation for independent bookstore day tomorrow is that you go to an independent bookstore (or several), be very kind to the booksellers, and buy a book on their recommendation that you previously knew nothing about. Your life will be enriched.

Tomorrow, we will hold a sale for Independent Bookstores Day- 20% off storewide! Come in and support your local independent booksellers! We are so grateful to have such a supportive and lovely community behind us, supporting us and making it possible for us to stay open. We love you, Belfast!

Now is the time to buy books! 📚 Now through May, LBB is offering a $5 "Book Buck" for every $25 spent. It's as good as a five dollar bill, redeemable June 1st through the end of the year!

It is that time of year again when the ticks begin to emerge- I've already had a few on me! 😖 Be prepared with this field guide, which offers expert advice on tick safety, preventing tickborne illness, and identifying ticks.

What a beautiful day in Belfast! ☀️ If you're out and about, come on in for a respite~ it's a calm, cozy atmosphere, and we've got lots of comfortable chairs for a little break.

🌿🌼🐦 Get ready for Spring: We've got a whole lot of EARTH SKY WATER waterproof foldable field guides! These guides are excellent and fit nicely into a backpack, and make great gifts for nature lovers. Wildflowers, whales, birds, seashells, trees, wild edibles, constellations, owls, and many more!

As a bookseller, I can 100% confirm this is how it feels. Bonus points if it has my "staff picks" bokmark in it. 😆📚

Remember these? 🤔 LBB now has a section of "Choose Your Own Adventure Books!" The company has put out a whole new line adapted for the interests of today's young readers, but the classics, such as "The Mystery of Chimney Rock," are also still in print!
