This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder Mack Male. Mack recommends Edmonton Indie Bookstore Extravaganza, the third annual celebration of Indie bookstores.
Edmonton Indie Bookstore Extravaganza
📅 April 25 to April 26
Visit as many participating bookstores as you can on April 25-26, 2026 and get entered to win multiple prizes, with contributions from each indie!
Here's what Mack had to say:
"Even though I mostly borrow e-books from EPL, I love a good independent bookstore. They add such vitality to our community as a home for culture, events, and much more. This year's event features a free-to-ride Bookstore Bus and a self-guided bike map so there's no need to drive around to each store. Get out and celebrate these important stores that contribute so much to our city!"
