Independent Bookshop Week is part of the Books Are My Bag campaign (with this year’s bespoke design by Orla Kiely), which seeks to celebrate independent bookshops in the UK and Ireland in conjunction with the IndieBound campaign that promotes the benefits that a healthy and diverse high street - with a bookshop at its heart of course! - can deliver to a community.
