COEUR d'ALENE — Two Coeur d'Alene bookstores are joining a nationwide celebration of Independent Bookstore Day today.
"We hope this is a fun weekend and are hopeful to raise money to support the libraries in the area," wrote Anna Rose Carleton with The Well-Read Moose, which is teaming up with Bookishly Happy for the event.
Along with fun activities, sales and a chance to win prizes, they are raising money for the Community Library Network to help rebuild the Post Falls and Athol libraries after experiencing severe water damage this winter.
Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April.
"We would like to encourage people to come and support their local indie bookstore and local libraries this weekend," Carleton wrote. "Supporting our community is an important focus for both stores."
The Well-Read Moose is at 2048 N. Main St. Bookishly Happy is at 2415 N. Government Way.
