Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day
Word Balloons #1213: 16 Central Oklahoma Independent Bookstores team up to make trail passport
Several Oklahoma independent bookstores, including Speeding Bullet Comics, are teaming up to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on April 27.
While supplies last, request a passport book from one of the participating indie bookstores listed below. These are the participants in the Central Oklahoma Independent Bookstore Trail.
Over the weekend of April 27-28, for every four-in-a-row of shops visited on the passport, you can enter a prize raffle! If you fill your entire passport you get an extra entry! No purchase is necessary to get your passport stamped, but you’ll likely find some great books at these locations! Raffle winners will be contacted the week after the Bookstore Crawl. Speeding Bullet will be providing stamps for those who visit our location Friday-Sunday, April 26-28. Passport books are available now!
Sixteen shops are participating in central Oklahoma:
Full Circle Bookstore
Literati Press
Commonplace Books
Bookish
Nappy Roots
Second Story Books
The Banned Press
The Floating Bookshop
Best of Books
Bluebird Books
A Novel Idea
Paper Pages
Deer Clan Books
The Lore
Green Feather
Speeding Bullet Comics
We will have pins at Speeding Bullet Comics, 614 N. Porter Ave. in Norman, OK, celebrating the Bookstore Trail while supplies last!
Also coming up:
The Tulsa Nostalgia Swap will be held from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on April 28 at the Glenpool Conference Center, 12205 S. Yukon Ave. in Glenpool, Oklahoma.
The event will feature more than 20 vendors and artists and will feature comics, toys, video games, vinyl records, VHS and cassette tapes, and clothing.
Guests include Tami Erin from “Pippi Longstocking” and Dr. Hasaan Rasheed from “Black Panther.”
And remember to save the date for next week, when comic shops worldwide celebrate Free Comic Book Day: Saturday, May 4, 2024!
