A Global Journey Begins in Your Local Bookstore
What is a Book Crawl?
A Book Crawl is an adventure through the heart of a city’s indie bookshops. Participants visit multiple shops, connecting with local book culture and discovering hidden gems.
The Global Book Crawl brings this experience to cities worldwide, uniting bookstores and book lovers for a unique celebration. Each participating city organizes its own crawl, inviting the community to explore, discover, and support local bookshops.
Why join?
More than just an event. It’s a movement. By participating, bookstores strengthen their community bonds with book lovers and through collaboration with other local indie bookshops. Together, they create a united front that celebrates and supports the local book culture
Growing the Community. By joining the crawl, shops can invite a broader audience into the experience, encouraging new customers to discover the value and charm of local, independent bookshops.
Visibility and Support. Participating bookshops gain visibility through the Global Book Crawl’s platform, press coverage, and social media presence, helping to extend their reach locally and globally.
