Countless bookshops on in the UK and Ireland are celebrating the Independent Bookshop Week!

The Indie Bookshop Week is part of the Books Are My Bag campaign and celebrates independent bookshops from 18th to 25th June 2016. Events range from readings, celebrations, reading groups, storytelling, author signings, literary lunches and face painting to a bookshop crawl this Saturday:

If you’re currently staying in the UK, check out what your local bookshops are up to this week.
