IndieBound is a socially-conscious movement in support of independent businesses and shopping locally, starting with Indie bookstores. It’s about raising awareness, it’s about reaching out, and it’s about taking pride in your community.
Go to the link at www.indiebound.org to find Indie bookstores – you’ll see East-West Crossings right at the top of the list for State College!
If you agree, sign the Declaration of IndieBound that begins with:
“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for individuals to denounce the corporate bands which threaten to homogenize our cities and our souls, we must celebrate the powers that make us unique and declare the causes which compel us to remain independent…”
Get great book recommendations from IndieBound retailers all over the country!
And remember – East West Crossings can order any book that’s in print and have it here within 2 business days – with no shipping charges to you! Give us a chance to earn your business and your support – check out book recommendations and then call or email us at info@eastwestcrossings.com
Thanks for all your support – our mission, like all those who have joined IndieBound is…”to band together with like-minded folks across the country to celebrate our independent natures, our free-thinking retailers and our unique communities.”

Hello Everyone!
Continuing with our IndieBound Festival this week, we are pleased to announce that, this Friday from 6 to 8 p.m., Murphy’s Junction will perform for the first time at East-West Crossings – playing Bluegrass, Old Time and Country music. The band members are: Lori Brooks, Glenn Decker, Leslie Dyer, Bryan Homan, and Gwen Stimely. So come, clap your hands and welcome this new addition to our Friday series!
On Saturday, we have a packed schedule of local talent for all to enjoy:
At 11:00 a.m., Fran MacEachren will be giving the second lecture on her current quilt exhibit, “Earth, Water, Sky.” This time, Fran will be explaining the techniques and methods used to create landscape and floral quilts. Those who attended last week’s lecture were very enthusiastic and appreciative of Fran’s artistic talent and insights.
At noon, Ken Hull will be available to sign his book, Going Local. He will also be doing a brief presentation about writing and self-publishing his book. Ken’s book has been a best-seller in Centre County for the past year – come learn some of the secrets of how he succeeded with this project.
Finally, at 1:30, Birjoo Vaishnav will be playing relaxing melodies on the Indian flute.
We hope you can join us on Friday and Saturday as we continue to spotlight local authors and artists.
