Find Independent Bookstores around the country, using the Indie Bookstore Finder. More than 400 stores at launch, with more to come. Saturday April 30th is Independent Bookstore Day, and you can use this app to find everyone near you celebrating it. Many of the stores are having special events, author appearances and books you can only find from your independent book store. Independent bookstores make a difference in your community, more than buying from big box stores or that major online book retailer that shall not be named. Your local shop owners support local causes, spend their money in the same community you do, or in the community you're visiting. Indie Bookstore Finder is a collaboration between GoLocalApps and City Book Review. We started our business doing book reviews and created an app back in 2009 to promote our book reviews for children. Since that app, we spun off the app development business into GoLocalApps and now are back working together again.
