Flintridge Bookstore celebrates Small Business Saturday with guest authors and artists and other activities for all ages. Small Business Saturday is a nationwide event started in 2010, dedicated to showing support for indie businesses and recognizing their contributions to their communities. Flintridge Bookstore has participated for several years, but 2020 is the first year in our new space, which is just down the street from our former location.
Also new this year is an outdoor set-up, a change made to keep all guests safe during COVID-19 times. Our featured guests are staggered throughout the day and have individual tables on the sidewalk wrapping around the store. Our doors are open for in-store business (with a limit of 12 customers at a time). Masks are required inside and out. The event is scheduled weather permitting.
Win a bag of Books! Giveaways!
Join the fun! See below for featured guests, and for the press release Click here (Please note: Alva Sachs is no longer on the schedule)

CHRIS ERSKINE (former Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune columnist and author of Daditude), Lavender in Your Lemonade: A Funny and Touching Covid Diary: Erskine’s newspaper columns explored modern fatherhood and family life, from the absurd to the mundane, the sublime to the heartbreaking. His latest book chronicles daily life under the frustrating, terrifying, and sometimes antic strictures of a world-wide pandemic. No, it’s not funny. And yet somehow, in Erskine’s hands, it is. Or at least it feels more tolerable.

ON OUR SHELVES NOW!
A Promised Land
by the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy
In the highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
This beautiful book captures Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.
