Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day (4/25) with Shelf Help, a podcast where booksellers help you answer one of life’s trickier – and we’d argue extremely important – questions: What should you read next?
Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam (a nonprofit designed to inspire readers), JAM, and three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop (Woodstock, VT), the Norwich Bookstore (Norwich, VT), and Still North Books & Bar (Hanover, NH).
| | JAM relies on diverse funding sources to sustain our nonprofit community media services promoting civic engagement and transparency in local government. We wish to thank the Comcast and VTel cable subscribers, voters in our service area towns, the State of Vermont, individual donors, local business sponsors, and public and private foundations who make JAM's work possible. | | Weekly Highlights - Apr 22, 2026 | | | | |
