San Diego Book Crawl 2023 April 29th to May 1st

Join Us For the San Diego Book Crawl and Independent Bookstore Day Celebration! 
 
The San Diego Book Crawl is back for another fantastic event
with more prizes and more independent bookstores to visit and support!
This year’s Crawl lasts 3 days and stretches from Coronado to Del Mar, starting Saturday April 29th,
in conjunction with Independent Bookstore Day. 
 
The San Diego Book Crawl is an annual event coinciding with the national celebration of Independent Bookstore Day, encouraging San Diegans to visit as many of the 13 participating local independent bookstores as possible over 3 days.

Book Crawlers receive a Book Crawl ‘Passport’ at their first bookstore stop and receive a stamp in that passport when they spend at least $10 at participating stores. The more stamps you collect, the more prizes you win (while supplies last)!

We are excited to once again have an in person craw so we have expanded to 13 San Diego indie bookstores! This is a 3 day event (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). Keep in mind that each bookstore has its own unique hours. We invite you to visit our store websites or social media channels to see what we’re up to!
