‘What I say is, a town isn\u2019t a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it\u2019s got a bookstore, it knows it\u2019s not foolin\u2019 a soul.’<\/em><\/p>\n \u2015 Neil Gaiman<\/p>\n In an age of Internet sales a humble bookshop could seem archaic. In a march to digitise and automate, something so small as a bookshop could be considered an afterthought. Yet, those of us who frequent shelves and bookstalls, who know of other lives and worlds and realms within pages, we know a bookshop is more. It is the soul of a place, wherever that place may be, and the heart of a community.<\/p>\n This Saturday 12 August\u00a0marks Love your Bookshop Day<\/a>, an occasion that invites anyone to celebrate his or her local bookshop, with events and programs throughout Australia. Drop into your local this Saturday to support and celebrate what makes your bookshop special.<\/p>\n A taste of the\u00a0events happening around Adelaide:<\/p>\n And of course we are open with our Mile End store, 1\u00a0\u2013\u00a05 pm. All books are 3 for 2 (cheapest book free) with a free\u00a0cat or dog book bag if you spend over $75. We have an I Love My Dog and My Dog Loves Me <\/em><\/a>book giveaway as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘What I say is, a town isn\u2019t a town without a bookstore.
