As booksellers are in the midst of the important fourth quarter sales season,
the American Booksellers Association encourage readers to shop early and shop local.
Check with your local independent bookstore on how you can shop with them — whether in-store, online, or both.
Shopping indie this holiday season is crucial in order to help bookstores and other small businesses make it through the end of the year. There are a number of ways to help support your local indie bookstore:
• Pre-order a book
• Make a donation to your local store
• Support their fundraising campaign
• Buy a gift card
• Use your bookstore to mail gifts to your family
• Start a Libro.fm subscription
• Buy a subscription box
• Share on social media how much you love your bookstore!
Booksellers — encourage your customers to buy local and support your store this holiday with the American Booksellers Association designs that can be used across social media, newsletters, and websites, or in stores.
