Mark your calendars and fluff up your tote bags — we’re throwing a book-loving bash on Saturday, April 26th in honor of Independent Bookstore Day, and you’re invited!
To celebrate all things indie and literary, we’ll be donating a portion of the day’s sales to the Montana Bookstore Trail, a fantastic initiative that supports local bookshops across our beautiful state. So yes — shopping for books absolutely counts as a good deed. 💚
But wait, there’s more! Join us for a very special evening event at 6:00 PM at our Bozeman store (511 W. Mendenhall), where the wonderful Jack Jelinski will be gracing us with his presence, prose, and probably a few laughs.
Come for the community, stay for the books, and leave with a heart (and book bag) full. We’d love to see your smiling faces — and hey, bring a friend, a neighbor, or that one cousin who always smells like old books.
With bookish love,
The Isle of Books Team

Meet the Editors of Anaconda's Melting Pot Cookbook!
Isle of Books Butte43 East Broadway, Butte MT 59701Join us on Small Business Saturday, November 25, from 11am-1pm to meet some of the editors of Anaconda’s Melting Pot Cookbook!Take a bite out of Anaconda, Montana’s historyImmigrants flocked to Anaconda for work when Marcus Daly built the smelter in the late nineteenth century and settled together in neighborhoods where they retained their language, customs, celebrations and cuisine. Anaconda’s Melting Pot Cookbook was created to honor and preserve that rich culinary heritage. These recipes evoke vivid memories of aromas drifting out of the kitchen and the people who prepared the dishes, and this book pays tribute to Anaconda’s melting pot of cultures.“Recipes evoke vivid memories of aromas drifting out of the kitchen, the people who prepared the dish and specific family gatherings. They remind us of our home, our parents and grandparents and the caring and love that went into the preparation of our favorite foods.”
