This year, the Northern Virginia bookstores (plus one MD and one WV shop!) are joining up to offer a Bookstore Crawl beginning on this year's Independent Bookstore Day (IBD), open to all ages! We're encouraging folks to shop at as many indie bookshops they can get to this year for the #novabookstorecrawl, running from April 27 until May 31.
Head to any participating bookstore on April 27th this year to grab your passport and start your crawl - and don't forget to celebrate IBD wherever you go! Each store is offering their own unique activities and giveaways, and we hope you're able to make the most of your day!
Follow the instructions on your passport to rack up prizes. Once you visit 4 bookstores, you can get a free advanced reader's copy (ARC) of a book of your choosing! Options vary by store. Visit 8 stores, and win a tote (with varying options per shop). Finally, visit 10+ stores and enter into our grand prize raffle - each shop will contribute something to a gift basket and one winner will be selected to win. Simply leave your completed passport at your last stop.
