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

Isle of Books Bozeman511 W Mendenhall St. Bozeman, MT 59715We’re beyond excited to welcome Montana’s own (and our dear friend) Russell Rowland to Isle of Books on Friday, March 28th at 6:30 PM!
Russell will be sharing stories from his newest book BE A MAN: Raised in the Shadow of Cowboys – a heartfelt memoir about growing up in the West and navigating what masculinity means when you’re surrounded by men of few words.
You might already know Russell as the talented author behind eight books, including the beloved Fifty-Six Counties and the critically-acclaimed Arbuckle triology. He’s been capturing Montana’s spirit and stories for years, and we’re thrilled to have him stop by for this special evening.
The details:
- When: Friday, March 28th, 2025, 6:30 PM
- Where: Isle of Books, 511 W. Mendenhall, Bozeman
- What else: Snacks and refreshments (because books and snacks go together perfectly!)
This is sure to be a beautiful and interesting night of stories, conversation, and community. Russell’s down-to-earth approach and honest storytelling always make for memorable events, and we can’t wait to share this evening with you all.
Bring your friends, bring your questions, and lets explore unspoken codes of western masculinity together.
Can’t wait to see you there!
Medellee & your Isle of Books family
