Bookmamas celebrates National Independent Bookstore Day on April 30th

On a rainy day, the best thing to do is cuddle up with a book on the couch and start reading! Kathleen Angelone, Owner of Bookmamas, chats with Tracy about Independent Bookstore Day and how you can take part!

Here are the event details:

• Saturday, April 11 from 11-3.
