April is a busy time around here.

In a couple of weeks, of course, the Unbound Book Festival returns for its ninth event, and we’re looking forward to welcoming all of this year’s authors to Skylark to sign their books. (If you haven’t seen the humungous stacks of Unbound books on our front tables, you should swing by and take a look. They’re something.)

Then, SOMEHOW, (Alex, SOMEHOW) the following week we have four events and are hosting three performances by our friends at the Greenhouse Theatre Project (more on this soon.)

And THEN, on Saturday, April 27, it’s Independent Bookstore Day, a nationwide celebration of indie bookshops. To mark the occasion, we’ll be offering some highly exclusive swag, giving away goodies with all purchases (while stocks last) and raffling off our famous Skylark tote bag stuffed with, er, stuff.

And if that wasn’t enough, PARKING WILL BE FREE in the District on Saturday for the annual Shop Hop!

Come and swing by, say hi, join in the fun, and help us celebrate indie bookshops everywhere!
