Canadian Independent Bookstore Day (CIBD)

Save the date!

April 25, 2026 is this years celebration of Canadian Independent Booksellers.

Indie booksellers work hard to serve their customers and communities. CIBD is our opportunity to say thank you.

Here are some ways you can participate in Canadian Independent Bookstore Day:

Buy books! Purchase books and other items in-person, online, or by phone to show your support and to enter our annual contest.

Check out bookstore activities. Local shops across Canada are planning celebratory activities for the big day including customer giveaways, discounts, exclusive products, author events, and more. Visit their websites and social channels for details.

Help us spread the word. CIBD is an opportunity to raise awareness about everything that indies have to offer. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to share our info about the campaign throughout the month of April.
