Heyday Harvest event to celebrate local booksellers, environmental stewardship, and youth activism

Heyday Books, an independent, nonprofit publisher in Berkeley, hosts its 14th annual “Heyday Harvest” fundraiser on Sunday. The event comes at a time, in the COVID-19 pandemic, when indie booksellers and publishers need local support more than ever.

Founded by author Malcolm Margolin in 1974, Heyday puts out 20 titles penned by a diverse array of authors every year. In its mission statement, the nonprofit describes itself as a proponent of social justice, the beauty of the natural world and California Native publishing, disseminating California’s history and culture via writers who prize social equity and engagement.
