Connecting Indie Bookstores Across Borders

Who We Are

The Global Book Crawl was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to unite independent bookshops worldwide in a celebration of local literature, community, and culture, all with minimal resources needed. This initiative allows each town to organize a crawl tailored to its unique community, requiring only creativity and local collaboration, while benefiting from the global reach and shared excitement of a worldwide movement.
