In honor of Independent Bookstore Day, the Raven Book Store, the Free State Festival and the Lawrence Arts Center Microcinema series are teaming up for a screening of Hello, Bookstore. With topical book sales on site and post-show conversation, this will be a unique celebration of community, creative entrepreneurship and the love of books.

ABOUT THE FILM

In the shadow of the pandemic, a small town rallies to protect a beloved local bookstore in its hour of need. A landmark in Lenox, Massachusetts, The Bookstore is a magical, beatnik gem thanks to its owner, Matt Tannenbaum, whose passion for stories runs deep. This intimate portrait of The Bookstore and the family at its heart offers a journey through good times, hard times and the stories hidden on the shelves.
