Description
450 Independent Bookstores nationwide will be participating in Independent Bookstore day on April 29, 2017. Gathering Volumes in Perrysburg will be hosting an author event as well as additional activities for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 29. The event will host multiple authors both inside and outside of the store, live musical acts will be on-hand during the event, children's activities will be available and Mom's Mobile Mission will be collecting non-perishable food. Mom's Mobile Mission is a nonprofit Organization helping those in need in the Perrysburg Height and surrounding area.

The store will open an hour early, at 10 am, for a special Elephant & Piggie story time, coffee, tea, and doughnuts. The store will also stay open late for Literary Trivia and snacks from 7 to 9 pm. Additionally, multiple food trucks have been invited to attend the outdoor author event from 10 am to 4 pm including Displaced Chef, whose brick-and-mortar restaurant is located in the Shoppes at South Boundary a few doors down from Gathering Volumes. Finally, the store will have special deals and give-aways all day long including Go Fish cards with popular children's book authors, and a short story by Rainbow Rowell.

Independent Bookstore day was first celebrated in California in 2014. In 2015 it went national and 2016 saw over 400 bookstores participating. Independent Bookstore day is a chance to not only pick up some of the special limited edition stock, but also a chance to meet many local authors, other book enthusiasts, and great new books! Within the store, limited-edition books and items will be available on April 29 only. Items will be in store starting on April 15, but will not be available for sale until April 29 and will only be available until stock runs out. There will be authors in the bookstore and in the parking lot of the Shoppes at South Boundary from 10 am to 4 pm. Inside the store there will also be activities such as a literary photo booth, create your own Little Golden Book, an Other People's Poetry event, and a Go Fish playing area. Outside in the parking lot, along with authors signing their books, food trucks will be selling food as well as a food collection for Mom's Mobile Mission, and live musicians will be performing. All outdoor events will be delayed until April 30 in the case of bad weather on April 29. Keep an eye on Gathering Volumes Facebook page for updates if bad weather is predicted for April 29.
