Following the runaway success of last year's California Bookstore Day, bookstores across the nation are now preparing for Independent Bookstore Day, a country-wide celebration of books and independent bookstores on May 2nd.
Watch for hourly specials, guest booksellers, surprise discounts, live window models (reading of course!), games, and treats! Exclusive books and art pieces for IBD 2015 will be available only at participating IBD bookstores, only on May 2.
Items include a signed, original Chris Ware print; a signed chapbook of original essays by the bestselling author of Bad Feminist, Roxane Gay; a color broadside from Stephen King's forthcoming novel Finders Keepers; a signed poster by Allie Brosh from Hyperbole and a Half; literary tea towels and much more.
River Lights is a locally owned, independent bookstore that began in 1989. We moved downtown to our current location at 11th & Main on June 1st, 2007.
