national black bookstore day

APril 7th

Mark your calendars. April 7 is the inaugural National Black Bookstore Day.

We’ve already secured official recognition in multiple jurisdictions — and momentum is building.

We invite Black booksellers to pursue recognition in your own city and state so you can be formally acknowledged and celebrated locally. Download the toolkit below for step-by-step guidance and sample language to make the process simple.

Let’s make April 7 a nationwide celebration honoring and uplifting Black-owned bookstores across the country.
