SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY
a day to celebrate and support local businesses!Saturday, November 29th
9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
See what we're doing to make it a special day...
Of course you love your regular Kepler's booksellers, but we're excited to announce our special VIP lineup of authors eager to recommend you their very favorite books on Small Business Saturday, also known as "Indies First" day. You need a little fun between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and we're here to help! Last year, Sherman Alexie issued an "Indies First" challenge to his fellow writers, urging them to spend a day at their local bookstore:
"We book nerds will become booksellers. We will make recommendations. We will practice nepotism and urge readers to buy multiple copies of our friends’ books."
A great many authors took up the challenge, and now it has become an annual tradition.
Come put these authors' bookselling skills to the test on Saturday, 11/29. Your reading list will double at least, and we'll help you conquer that holiday shopping list.
American Express cardholders Spend $10 or more in a single, in-store transaction and get a $10 statement credit. You can take advantage of the American Express Card Member offer for Small Business Saturday up to three times.
