Independent Bookstore Day: Cambridge Edition

Join Porter Square Books for Independent Bookstore Day, the day-long celebration of everything that makes independent bookstores such vital parts of the community. Here's what's happening at Porter Square Books: Cambridge Edition!

MetroBoston Indie Bookstore Crawl: Both PSB locations are participating in the MetroBoston Indie Bookstore Crawl. Redeem your IBD passport at either (or both!) locations to get 1% off your purchase for every stamp. Stay tuned for more information about prizes.

All Recommendations Are 20% Off: Normally it’s just our staff picks that are discounted; On Independent Bookstore Day, however, any book recommendation that you purchase at either store location will also be 20% off! 

Stuff Animal Portrait Fundraiser: Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day with the whole family (even the beloved stuffed companions who’ve protected your children from monsters under the bed for decades). Commemorate these gallant guardians and have their portraits drawn by professional children’s book illustrators! Click here for more info and to reserve a spot!

Great Bookseller Bake-Off: The Great Bookseller Bake-off returns! As part of our annual Independent Bookstore Day celebrations, a number of PSB libromancers will put their baking skills to the test, with only one being The Undisputed Baking Champion of the Year. And the best part about the bake-off is that you are the judges! The Bake-Off will take place 4PM-6PM.

Independent Bookstore Day Exclusives: Once again, PSB will be selling a bunch of cool IBD exclusive items! See what specialties we'll have here.
