Indies First is a day of activities and events in support of independent bookstores that takes place on Small Business Saturday (November 30, 2019). On a day dedicated to supporting the local businesses that help create jobs, boost the local economy, and preserve neighborhoods, Octavia Books is proudly hosting some wonderful local authors who are putting "indies first" by volunteering as front-line booksellers for the day. Come visit us on this fun and exciting day. And, ask the authors for a recommendation or to sign copies of their own books. And we will be giving away lots of special gifts, too.
From 10am till noon, come meet children's picture book author Jeanette Rose Weiland whose wonderful new book is BEIGNETS FOR BREAKFAST.
