Happy Independent Bookstore Week, Gophers!

Did you know that the U of M Bookstores is independent? We are owned and run fully by the University, so every dollar you spend with us goes right back into funding for students, staff, faculty, and our campuses. We are so proud to be indie!

To celebrate, we've got some fun activities that you won't want to miss. Stop by the Bookstore at Coffman Memorial Union from April 21-26 to get in on the action! 

Here is a sneak peak of what to expect:

  • Guess the Book Cover - Study a poster full of book cover snippets and try to guess each title correctly. Submit your guess sheet for a chance to win a $50 Bookstores gift card.
  • Take a fun pic to document the day at our "Shelfie Station"
  • Participate in Blind Date With a Book
  • Check in on Tuesday for an Emily Henry Release Party
  • Buy a book, get a 10% off coupon for your next book purchase
  • AND MORE!

Plus, we are participating in this year's Twin Cities Independent Bookstore Passport program. Come stamp your passport, or pick one up here at the store!

We can't wait to see you there. Thank you for supporting your local independent bookstore!
