Mississippi Independent Bookstore Day Saturday, May 2, at Square Books in Oxford, Mississippi
For Mississippi Bookstore Day, Square Books will be selling some of the limited edition special items produced for Independent Bookstore Day, like a tea towel with a Pat Conroy quote and a Margaret Atwood stencil, as well as an exclusive and very special t-shirt designed by Laurie Fisher, the author of the bestselling Where Do They Go On Game Day.
Throughout the day Square Books will serve some refreshments and raffle off items. They will also include a free Roz Chast tote for purchases over $50 while supplies last, and all bargain books will be sold at 20% off.
But as while celebrating bookstores, Square Books will mostly just do what bookstores do best, recommend and sell books to all who come to shop at any of the three Square Books locations on the square in Oxford.
