Vintage Store Day Launches Nationwide on May 17

Independent Bookstore Day, a national celebration held annually in April, is being marked by bookstores across the United States with special events such as parties, discounts, author appearances, giveaways, and merchandise releases. In Delaware, participating stores are hosting activities ranging from scavenger hunts and author meet-and-greets to exclusive sales and special promotions like the 'Golden Ticket,' which offers a year of free audiobooks to lucky winners. Central New York bookstores are also joining the festivities with events including book discounts, pop-up vendors, free tote bags, and both adult and children's author events. These celebrations aim to bring communities together and support independent bookstores through engaging, family-friendly activities.
