Join the celebration of Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 28, 2018.

Grand Junction’s Downtown bookstores will be joining over 500 other bookstores across the nation as they celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 28, 2018. The participating bookstores are CRYSTAL Books and Gifts at 439 Main Street (970-242-5181), Grand Valley Books at 350 Main Street (970-424-5437) and Out West Books at 533 Main Street (970)-986-8086.

These bookstores have joined together to offer shoppers a special unique discount. Stop in at any of these bookstores on April 28th and pick up your free reader’s “Passport”. Take your passport with you and visit the other two downtown bookstores that same day and have your passport stamped. The stores are all conveniently located on Main Street within a couple of blocks of each other. Your completed stamped passport will afford you a $5 discount at each store on any item over $25 until May 31, 2018 when the passport offer expires.

Each store will also have their own in-store specials specifically for Independent Bookstore Day. You may contact each store for more information. Shop Downtown and enjoy the day knowing you are supporting locally owned businesses.

Also, there will be treats, drawings and door prizes.  During the event, there will be a Typewriter Wordsmiths typing book-themed poems by requestfrom 11-1.
