Join us as we turn the very first page of Friends to Bookends and celebrate our Grand Opening in the heart of Allentown.

We’ll begin with an official ribbon cutting ceremony, marking the start of a new chapter for our little bookstore. Afterward, we invite you to stay, explore the shelves, and celebrate with us.

To make the day extra special, we’ve hidden a few surprises throughout the shop. Select books will contain golden bookmarks, each redeemable for a special prize — including a blind date with a book bundle, a free book, or 20% off your next visit. The first 25 customers will also receive a limited-edition commemorative bookmark created just for this moment.

We’re honored to celebrate alongside some wonderful local vendors offering small bites and treats throughout the day.

Friends to Bookends was built on the belief that bookstores are more than places to buy books — they’re places to gather, to discover, and to feel at home. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re just finding us now, we can’t wait to welcome you.

Come raise a glass, find your next story, and help us begin.
