Take a Kid to Your Local Indie Today!

Here at Atelier26, we'd recommend this activity for any given day, so we can certainly endorse today's official movement. 

"Bookstores hold a place in the hearts and times of our community. They are places to discover an author, a story, a life. Nothing affords the conversation and interaction among books and book lovers that a bookstore does. In the future, whether you download your story or pluck a volume off a shelf, a bookstore will be able to accommodate. But in order for bookstores to flourish and thrive, we must expose future generations to the unique pleasures they offer. On December 7th, 2013, take a child in your life to a bookstore. Watch his face light up as you give him free access, not just to a new book, but to tomorrow." —Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day Director, author Jenny Milchman
