B FOR BUTTERFLY BOOKS celebrates Independent Bookshop Week
- FREE EVENT FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES
B For Butterfly Books in Sale, Greater Manchester will be welcoming children’s favourite BLUEY to the shop to celebrate Independent Bookshop Week.
Taking place on Saturday 14th June from 11am onwards, it will be one of hundreds of events taking place within independent bookshops across the UK and Ireland to mark Independent Bookshop Week.
Founded in 2006 and taking place this year between Saturday 14th and Saturday 21st June, Independent Bookshop Week is both a key moment in the Books Are My Bag calendar of blockbuster bookshop championing campaigns, and a focal point of the Booksellers Association’s overarching mission to celebrate, advocate and support independent bookshops and the unique cultural, economic and community value they bring to shopping destinations and customers.
The event is free to attend and there is no need to book! Bluey will be appearing at 11am and then throughout the day.
“I’m very excited to welcome BLUEY to the shop to help celebrate our very first Independent Bookshop Week at our new location in Brooklands” (Michelle – owner of B For Butterfly Books)
A weeklong campaign championing the intrinsic national value and vital local role that independent bookshops play in the UK and Ireland.
