Fellow Australians1<\/a><\/sup>, it’s National Bookshop Day this Saturday!<\/p>\n

This celebration of our nation’s bookshops is especially important this year because the Australian Booksellers Association is one of the organisations campaigning against our government’s proposed changes to Australian copyright laws<\/a>: <\/p>\n

“That’s why this year the National Bookshop Day celebrations will coincide with the release of #SaveOzStories. Published by Melbourne University Press, #SaveOzStories is a collection of some of Australia’s finest authors writing about the threat the removal of PIRs poses to our local writing culture. #SaveOzStories will be available for free at all good bookshops on Saturday 13 August.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s right, a free book<\/a>, full of contributions from your favourite Australian writers. There’ll also be lots of cool events at bookshops around the country. For more information, see Love Your Bookshop on Facebook<\/a> and NatBookshopDay on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
