| Dear Booklovers,
It's time to celebrate our independence, and in July, we are going IndieBound!
Linking
with this exciting community-oriented movement has brought a new indie
awareness that Anderson's is delighted to share. Independent
bookstores and other indie businesses across the nation are
joining forces and sharing ideas to raise the mantle of uniqueness
and benefit offered by local businesses. We invite you to
join the growing consumer movement that recognizes the appeal of
independent stores rather than national chains. Every time you
purchase locally, you help preserve the special qualities of our
communities.
Figures from Bookselling This Week
indicate that for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $68
stays in the community. Also noteworthy is that sales taxes are
reinvested in the local community. Buying locally conserves
energy and resources in terms of less fuel for transportation, less
packaging and products our local retailers stand behind.
Please watch for the bold new IndieBound logo in our stores and
celebrate your independence! Visit the IndieBound Website
(simply click the IndieBound.org link below ) and add your
name to the Declaration of IndieBound.
Remember that our indie pride shows in every special event we
host. And this month is no exception with authors for all
interests. Please join us soon.
Yours in books, Your friends at Anderson's |
