DELHI, NY — The Lost Bookshop will participate in the 11th anniversary of Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 27. 

The shop will hold in-store giveaways (including a year of free audiobooks from partner libro.fm), a used-book sidewalk sale and the reveal of the limited edition Indie Bookstore Day bookmarks, designed by local young folks.

The day ends with a party to celebrate the community, held from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Independent Bookstore Day (Indie Bookstore Day) 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 over 900 stores are participating across the country.

Independent Bookstore Day is organized by the American Booksellers Association, a national nonprofit trade organization that works with booksellers and industry partners. It focuses on the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and assists in expanding the community of the book. 

The Lost Bookshop opened in 2023 at 120 Main St. and sells a variety of fiction, nonfiction and children’s books.
