Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore! As a proud participant in this one-day national event, we’ll have family fun activities, book giveaways, special sales, and a special conversation with two award-winning debut novelists, Meghan Kenny and Jane Delury. 

Why Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day at the Scholar?

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.

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. In fact, there are more of them this year than there were last year. And they are at your service.

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details!
