“我知道，独立书店自行决定他们出售什么书。他们知道他们的社区和顾客，他们选他们顾客所爱的书。当然，他们也出售最新的畅销书，但他们也提供空间给他们所爱的新秀作家和地方作者撰写的书。” 张崇珊对贴心姐妹网说。
张崇珊感激独立书店对新秀作家的提携，但她也注意到独立书店目前面临的困境。她说：“在电子书、亚马逊和大型连锁店之间，独立书店可以上加拿大环境部的濒临灭绝物种名单了”。
这给了张崇珊启示，她决定将这个活动的模式带到加拿大。她说：“这是一场草根运动，有助于建设社区——不仅仅是为了邻里，还在加拿大的读者、作家、书店和出版社之间。”
Blue Heron Books店主Shelley Macbeth赞扬张崇珊推动“作家支持独立书店日”运动以及其他作家和出版社对这一运动的支持。她表示，独立书店没有太大的推销预算，但不管怎样，在她眼里，这次活动已经成功。
5月2日，作家Ted Barris、Gerry Fostaty、Terry Fallis、Helaine Becker、Katherine Govier、Andrew Borkowski、Deborah Kerbel、Stella Grasso、Sheila Dalton、Jennifer Dance Bowen、Helaine Becker 和 Ted Staunton将到Blue Heron Books 参与“作家支持独立书店”活动。
5月2日上午11时至下午1时，张崇珊将到北温哥华Edgemont Village的32 Books书店做义工，和作家John Vaillant、Grant Lawrence、Cea Sunrise Person 和 Cathie Borrie一起帮助书店售书。该活动之后，她还将去Kerrisdale的Hager Books书店做义工，和她一起做义工的作家还有Caroline Adderson、Carol Shaben、Beryl Young 和 Shaena Lambert。
