Independent Bookstore Day Activities!
Saturday, April 30, 2016
Kepler's Books 1010 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025
Keplers Books is thrilled to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 30th, with fun activities, crafts, coloring and treats for kids of all ages from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Plus, come in early for the chance to buy exclusive books, posters, coloring books and other cool stuff that you can only get on Indie Bookstore Day! Come join the party! RSVP here for this fun and exciting celebration of books, writing, art and reading!
The party starts first thing in the morning when we open our doors at 9 a.m. Our crafty bookseller Caitlin has dreamed up a special section of the store to Celebrate Paper, and we're celebrating the joys of all things paper (like our favorite books!) as well as important community good deeds like recycling.
Come use our recycled paper to make cool book covers for your favorite books, and then decorate your book cover with all of our groovy crayons and markers! Resident artists are invited to come make their mark on bookstore history by helping to decorate our Indie Bookstore Day Coloring Banner. We will also have a demonstration and building table for the wonderful newspaper and tissue puffs you have seen around the store!
Well also have treats, including cookies from Martha's Pastry Shoppe in Menlo Park, and we'll be making Book Cookie Catchers with book recommendations inside. Well also have Strawberry Lemonade and other yummy drinks on hand. Adults can also get in on the action with our exciting round of no-holds-barred literary trivia, hosted by our booksellers.
And oh, the stuff! Glorious swag awaits the brave souls who arrive at our little bookshop for Indie Bookstore Day! Keep in mind that we have a limited supply of these one-of-a-kind items, so when they're gone, they're gone.
First up for sale is the "Neil Gaiman Coloring Book", which includes 20 pieces of black-and-white art by Chris Riddell featuring quotes from Neil Gaiman taken from the pages of "Coraline", "The Graveyard Book", and "Fortunately, the Milkall" ready to be colored in by YOU!
We'll also be selling a limited edition stuffed Curious George, who is wearing a t-shirt that says, READ WITH ME.
Our rock n rollers can pick up the X is for vinyl record created just for Indie Bookstore Day. This companion record to the book "Rad American Women A-Z" features an original alphabet song by Carolyn Pennypacker-Riggs of Bouquet on Side A and a reading of the X chapter of Rad American Women featuring the voices of Angela Davis, Rebecca Solnit, Charlene Yi and other rad women.
Adult foodies will love Anthony Bourdain's Perfect Burger Print, a beautifully illustrated guide to making the perfect burger, and each gallery quality print is SIGNED by Anthony Bourdain.
To support Indie Bookstore Day, bestselling author Ann Patchett has penned A $6 Story: The Care and Feeding of an Independent Bookstore. This beautifully designed, saddle stitched booklet feature three instructive essays and is SIGNED by the author.
Plus, lots of other geeky things to buy including tea towels, canvas totes, drawing books and exclusive prints.
So don't delay! Join us for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 30.
