Get Ready for Independent Bookstore Day with Our KC Bookstore Guide!

KC Daily

Saturday is Independent Bookstore Day, and there’s no shortage of great locally-owned bookstores in the Kansas City metro. We’re here to help you find your next stop with our Kansas City Bookstore Guide.

  • Bookworms, Rejoice!: This is the 11th year of Independent Bookstore Day, which is held each year on the last Saturday in April. Over 1,000 bookstores across the country are participating in this year’s event.

  • Support Local: In an age where shopping for books is largely online, local, independently-owned booksellers are bucking this trend. We selected shops around the metro with curated selections, friendly + helpful staff, and various events for all types of book lovers.

Get ready for Saturday by checking out our Bookstore Guide HERE. P.S. We know there are other great bookstores across our metro, so reply to this email and let us know where we should check out next!
