Independent bookstores are not just stores, they’re community centers and local anchors run by passionate readers. They are entire universes of ideas that contain the possibility of real serendipity. They are lively performance spaces and quiet places where aimless perusal is a day well spent.
 
Indie bookstores, are not just stores, they are solutions. They hold the key to your love life, your career, and your passions. Walking the aisles of a good bookstore means stumbling upon a novel that expands your heart. It’s encountering an art book that changes the direction of your life. It’s the joy of having a perfect stranger or new friend steer you toward the perfect book.
 
In a world of tweets and algorithms and pageless digital downloads, bookstores are not a dying anachronism.  They are living, breathing organisms that continue to grow and expand. And they are at your service.

Stop by "The Bookstore" on May 2nd and celebrate Indie Bookstore Day at 475 N. Main Street in Downtown Glen Ellyn!
