BookLore Celebrates Independents Day! This Season Shop Local! It's Priceless!
It's official! This November 15, independent bookstores across Canada roll out the red carpet to launch a new marketing program called "Independents Matter". Tapping into the growing localism movement, Canadian independent booksellers herald a new challenge: Think Independent, Read Independent, Buy Independent.
Orangeville's independent bookstore, BookLore, offers a day-long celebration of discounts, special draws, refreshments and free cloth bags. "Shopping local is the best choice to keep dollars in the community and to support our local economy," says Nancy Frater, owner of BookLore. "BookLore has always had a strong interest in fostering culture in the community and in supporting our community; communities matter because independent stores matter."
This season, invest in your community by running, not walking, to your local independent bricks and mortar stores for the ultimate shopping experience. For readers and buyers, independent bookstores are a bastion of ideas: informed staff who love and read books and know what to recommend.
Clearly, the time to buy books is right now. "In challenging economic times, books are always the best bang for your buck," says Frater, also President of the Canadian Booksellers Association. "For the price of a movie, a book can open the door to another world of timeless comfort, entertainment and pleasure; for the gift giver, a book holds long-lasting value"
