Here's a throwback to this scene one month ago on Indie Bookstore Day, when Alison found the Golden Ticket to win a year of @libro.fm audiobooks! 🎟️ Here are a few new titles and restocks, as well as a fresh shipment of soft drinks and NEW zero-alcohol beer. 🍻 ⬇️

Alison displays the golden ticket she won in the shop with a big grin on her face.

The bookshop is open this weekend, Fri 6-9 and Sat 10-5. Look, this has been a tough week on #HaidaGwaii, and we are not feeling especially like celebrating. However, tomorrow is #IndieBookstoreDay across Canada and the US, which is something we look forward to every year. 1/

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, April 26 is #IndieBookstoreDay! 🗓 Independent bookshops like ours across Canada will host activities and customer giveaways. In addition to the Golden Ticket from @libro.fm (see yesterday’s post), IndieBookstores.ca is running another contest for book lovers. 🤩

💛🎶 I’ve got a golden ticket… Gotta be honest, it was exciting to open this envelope. #IndieBookstoreDay is coming up on Sat April 26. As part of the Canada-wide celebration, we will have an in-store scavenger hunt courtesy of our audiobook partner, @libro.fm! How it works:

A hand holds a shiny paper in front of a wall of books. The paper says "GOLDEN TICKET. The bearer of this golden ticket is the winner of a year's supply of audiobooks from Libro.fm"

🗞️ Today in good news: Libro.fm reports that new audiobook memberships in Feb increased by ~275%~ over the previous month! It’s pretty strong evidence that more people are switching away from Amazon and choosing to support their local bookshops in the process. Thanks, @libro.fm ♥️

📚 My latest Book Talk column is all about public libraries on Haida Gwaii and how libraries provide so, SO much more than books. I think I’ve also broken some news here. The new Masset branch and Xaad Kil Immersion Lab will have its grand opening on Sep 13! 🥳 @vilibrary.bsky.social

A printed newspaper column called Book Talk written by me. This one’s called “Way more than books: VIRL gives Haida Gwaii more services than I can fit in this column”. A photo of graffiti art at the Daajing Giids branch is shown next to the cover of “The Heart in Winter”, a novel by Kevin Barry. An ad from Haida Gwaii News to support local journalism is at the bottom of the page.
