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.

💛🎶 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"

That’s amazing!! We had a short break from taxes on books here at the holidays but it was just temporary. We would love to see no tax on books permanently.

@cavatica.bsky.social your post about being a hopeful bookseller really inspired us this morning before our shift. This survey is one way to provide a little hope for authors, readers, and booksellers in both counties. Feel free to share. ❤️
