#ShopLocalBookstores

This holiday season is crucial for bookstores weathering the financial challenges of 2020, but you can make the choice to shop local, invest in your community, and ensure a brighter, book-filled future.

When we’re open, we carry over 6,000 titles on topics such as feminism, queer and gender studies, global capitalism, climate & environment, political theory, police and prisons, race and black studies, radical education, plus many more!

When you make the #AudiobookSwitch from Audible to Libro.fm, you’ll support your local bookstore and get two audiobooks for the price of one when you start your membership. That’s two audiobooks for $14.99 when you use the code SWITCH.
