North Illinois Street, Indianapolis, IN
Kids Ink Children's Bookstore
Heads up: No ongoing shelf consignment, only event-day sales. Absolutely no AI. They get about a dozen requests a day and can't answer them all. Books need an ISBN and barcode or a price tag.
Independent children's bookstore and toy shop with stores on North Illinois Street and in Carmel, offering storytime slots to local self-published authors.
