Are you a bookworm? Brome Lake Books marks Canadian Independent Bookstore Day
CBCN Staff
anadian Independent Bookstore Day (CIBD) is on April 24 and Brome Lake Books is highlighting the occasion with special prizes and appearances from six local independent authors in their storefront.
Each and every sale made at Brome Lake Books either as an online order, by phone or in person will win a chance to spin the prize wheel with prizes like soap from Savonnerie de L’estrie, Virgin Hill coffee and Robin Badger pottery. There also will be discounts, gift cards and a bookseller’s choice wild card.
Each sale wins a chance to spin but Brome Lake Books encourages everyone to be safe and order from its webpage, by giving them a call, or by sending them an email.
There will also be special markdowns, which will be listed on the webpage at https://www.bromelakebooks.ca, and a $100 Brome Lake Books gift card is up for grabs to anyone who posts a ‘nice’ comment about authors, books or bookstores on Facebook or Instagram and tags Brome Lake Books or the Canadian Independent Bookstore Association. Brome Lake Books will also accept hand-drawn pictures from young booklovers. Any post made before April 25, the day the winner will be announced, will be entered.
