Kids Ink is participating this year and marking the occasion with style, excitement, and visits from Indiana’s great writers!

Sherman Alexie, poet, writer, and filmmaker, sent out a call to all authors, asking them to support their local independent bookstores on November 30th, to promote reading good books, and reward those that sell good books. For the entire day (10am-6pm), not only will customers get to browse Kids Ink’s normal, incredible selection, but they’ll do so with the guidance of authors that know the industry like few others.

   10am   Rebecca Dotlich (What Can a Crane Pick Up?), Christine Johnson (Claire de Lune)

   11am   Rebecca Dotlich

   12pm   Saundra Mitchell (The Elementals)

   1pm     Lynn Rowe Reed (Thelonius Turkey Lives!)

   2pm     John Dave Anderson (Sidekicked)

   3pm     Dan Carpenter (Indiana Out Loud), Janna Matthies (The Goodbye Cancer Garden)

   4pm     Mike Mullin (Ashfall)

   5pm     Mike Mullin

This is going to be an event to remember, and we can't wait to see you there! 

UPDATE DECEMBER 2: Small Business Saturday has come and gone, and left in its wake fond meetings, joyous visits, and a LOT of customers! None of it would have been possible without our honorary booksellers, who just happened to be some of the greatest local talents around!
