Maxima Book Center will once again be participating in Independent Bookstore Weekend as part of the North of Boston Book Trail!
 
Participants can either download a printable version or pick up a physical novelty passport at Maxima–or any of the other fifteen stores included in the Trail–and try to visit as many as possible. Participants who visit all sixteen stores can enter a raffle with the chance to win an incredible prize: $50 gift cards to all sixteen stores.

In addition to the raffle, Maxima Book Center will also be hosting six lovely local authors over the course of the two days! Here is a schedule for the author appearances:

Saturday, April 26
12pm: Annette LeBlanc Cate, author of Seven Little Ducklings
1pm: Whitney Scharer, author of The Age of Light
2pm: Brad Timm, author of Wildlife Out Your Window
