Come and celebrate 11 years of Independent Bookstore Day with The Hickory Stick Bookshop on Saturday April 27th!!

This year The Hickory Stick Bookshop will have exclusive IBD merchandise for sale, prize giveaways, a “guess the shredded book” competition, blind date with a book, and celebratory mimosas for customers. We’ll also have a special hidden Libro.fm Golden Ticket – if you find it 12 free audiobook credits will be yours!

We are part of the CT Passport program which encourages people to visit all participating indie bookstores in CT over the course of the weekend to win huge prizes.

Independent Bookstore Day (IBD) was established in 2013 to promote, celebrate, and highlight the value of the independent bookstore community. The day has been observed on the last Saturday of April every year since 2013. This year there are over 900 stores participating across the country.

Independent Bookstore Day is organized by the American Booksellers Association, a national not-for-profit trade organization, that works with booksellers and industry partners to ensure the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and to assist in expanding the community of the book.

We’ll be celebrating from 9.30 am to 5.00 pm and really hope you can come and join in the fun with us!
