In a happy coincidence, Linden Tree's anniversary aligns with "California/Independent Bookstore Day." We are a independent Bookstore because of you, our wonderful customers, so in appreciation for your continued support we are pleased to offer 30% off our entire inventory this Saturday, May 2.*  

Celebrated picture book author Jennifer Fosberry will be at Linden Tree from 1:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon to read from her books, give recommendations to families on other favorites, and to be a part of our wonderful community. Her books include:

• My Name is Not Isabella
• Isabella, Girl on The Go
• Isabella, Star of the Story
• My Name is Not Alexander

When you are in the store in the next two weeks, please take a moment to fill out a "leaf" telling us about your favorite book or what inspires you about Linden Tree.

We'll add it to our special tree that will be on display in May, adding to the festive atmosphere throughout the month.

Kids and adults are both welcome to participate with words or drawings!

As part of our commitment to give back to the literary community, we are pleased to welcome several small press and independently published picture book authors at a special event on Friday, May 1, from 6:00 to 8:00 in the evening.

Store co-manager and consignment specialist Drew Durham will be leading discussions with the authors about their books. 

This is a casual, drop-in evening event appropriate for all ages.
