Bookstore Crawl

Come join us for an exciting bookcrawl event with the Bookish Bay Brigade anywhere you are in the Bay Area!

We’re pairing our love of stories with our love of local bookstores. This is a great opportunity to connect with the community, support independent bookshops, and have a fantastic time surrounded by stories!

🕵️‍♀️ A scavenger hunt will be provided to all participants in advance. Visit as many participating bookstores in your area as you can and check off the hunt, it’s open to everyone across the Bay Area!✨ Prizes will be available at select bookstores, but even if none are near you, completing the scavenger hunt and submitting it will enter you to win a grand prize valued at $100 in bookish goods!

📍 Location: Any Bay Area bookstore! Select participating bookstores will have special prizes for readers who pop in and mention the Bookish Bay Brigade!

Use #BookstoreCrawl and tag @bookishbaybrigade throughout the day for extra raffle entries!

Let’s celebrate National Read a Book Day the best way we know how - surrounded by books, great company, and the amazing Bay Area literary community. We can’t wait to crawl with you!
