This year is the 13th annual Independent Bookstore Day, and the first year recognized in Lawton.

This year will mark the 13th annual Independent Bookstore Day. The day is always recognized on the last Saturday in April across the country, and the purpose to honor locally-owned bookstores.

Even though Independent Bookstore Day has been ongoing for over a decade, this year might be the first year the day is recognized in Lawton. As far as we're concerned, no other store has hosted special events for Independent Bookstore Day in Lawton, so April 25 will be especially exciting for book lovers in Lawton!
