October marks the observance of National Book Month. Whether you’re a book worm, casual reader or somewhere in between, there’s a way for everyone to celebrate.
Visit an Independent Bookstore
Support your local independent bookstore during October. Or take a trip to visit one of the popular bookstores on this list of the best indie bookstores in the United States.
Have a Book Exchange Party
Invite your friends and family over for a book exchange party. Break out some wine and snacks and let your guests swap books with each other.
Start a Book Club
For more reading motivation, start a book club with your friends and family. Pick a manageable book to start and choose a time to meet to discuss, either a few times during reading to check in or once you’ve completed the book.
Go to the Library
Sign up for a library card from your local library, if you haven’t already. Besides the obvious benefits of access to plenty of reading material, it’s a great way to get more involved in your community. Check the bulletin board for information about book-related events.
Clean Out Your Bookshelves
Choose some books you’ve either read or no longer need and put together a box to donate. Check with your local Salvation Army, Goodwill or other charitable organization to see if they accept book donations.
