]]> Books are my Bag https://liber.ie/books-are-my-bag/ Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:28:55 +0000 http://libertest.judodesign.com/?p=47 936769_465517863526771_1033015369_nLiber bookshop will be part of the celebrations on Saturday the 14th of September. There will be free cotton “Books are my Bag” cotton bags for life for every customer and there will be other in store celebrations (Yet to be confirmed)

The aim of the campaign is to highlight the importance of the independent bookseller to a town.

[quote]“What I say is, a town isn’t a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it’s got a bookstore it knows it’s not fooling a soul.”

]]> Why shop Indie? https://liber.ie/why-shop-indie/ Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:00:22 +0000 http://libertest.judodesign.com/?p=1 When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:

The Economy

  • Spend €100 at a local and €68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same €100 at a national chain, and your community only sees €43.
  • Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbours.
  • More of your taxes are reinvested in your community–where they belong.

The Environment

  • Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
  • Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.

The Community

  • Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
  • Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
  • More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
