- **Event Description**: Stop in at Prairie Lights on Saturday, April 26th to celebrate the 12th annual Independent Bookstore Day!

This year we are joined by local printmaker and Prairie Lights staff member Laura Moser, who will demonstrate how to make your own bookplates by hand. Decorative bookplates (also called ex libris, Latin for "from the books of...") have been used by readers for centuries to record ownership of their books in unique and creative ways. Stop in between 12–4pm to print your own bookplate with a design inspired by the iconic Prairie Lights storefront. We'll also have exclusive Independent Bookstore Day items for sale and giveaway in-store.

Independent Bookstore Day was established in 2013 to promote, celebrate, and highlight the value of independent bookstores in our communities. This year there are over 1600 bookstores participating across the country! Learn more at https://www.indiebound.org/independent-bookstore-day
