Batavia Bookshop To Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day

BATAVIA, IL — The Batavia Bookshop will hold a special event Saturday to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day, a holiday dedicated to supporting local booksellers throughout the U.S. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will include discounts and a visit from Bernie's Bully Dogs.

The Bookshop, which recently realized a long-time dream of being open throughout the week to serve full-time as Batavia's bookstore, offers a wide selection of books. As part of Independent Bookstore Day, the store is offering a buy one, get one free deal on its books.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Bernie's Bully Dogs will be on hand to serve customers some their storied hot dogs and give customers a chance to refuel as they browse.

More than 600 indie booksellers will participate in Independent Bookstores Day throughout the nation.
