The Australian Booksellers Association is delighted to announce a new initiative.  On Saturday, August 20, 2011, we will be holding the first National Bookshop Day.

Held in hundreds of locations throughout Australia, we will be celebrating bookshops, their contributions to the local community and to Australian literature, culture and society.

Throughout Australia, individual shops will be focusing on their uniqueness, inviting local authors and members of the community to participate in readings, conversation about books and other activities.
