Independent Bookstore Day 2025

Independent Bookstore Day is April 28!

For your local bookstores, the fourth Saturday in April is the most important day of the year. That’s because we will be celebrating Independent Bookstore Day!

We have a full schedule of rolling discounts, prizes and giveaways, free drinks, face painting, ice cream, and more! Plus, some of our favorite local authors will be stopping by to celebrate.

This year our Independent Bookstore Day sales will be benefiting Out Youth, serving Central Texas LGBTQIA+ youth and their allies for 35 years. Help us expand their library!

Indie Bookstore Day was established in 2013 to promote, celebrate, and highlight the value of the independent bookstore community. Reverie Books is only one of over 1,200 stores participating across the country!
