Saturday is a big day for community.
On a national level, it is National Bookstore Day and we encourage you to acknowledge your favorite bookstores and booksellers on this day that celebrates the unique culture of bookstores. Thank you to Publisher’s Weekly magazine for launching this nationwide celebration.
On a regional level, there an event we think defines community in the best way possible. In northern California, Saturday promises to be a busy day for a town bookstore, local apple growers and one botanical artist. Artist Peggy Irvine will exhibit her botanical drawings and paintings at Eureka Books, an antiquarian bookstore located in Eureka’s historic district. Irvine’s colored pencil paintings of apples will be on display as the bookstore invites local apple growers and their apples into the store. Lucky bookstore customers get to enjoy not only books, but locally grown apples and locally grown art as well!
