Visit and support as many of our state’s participating independent bookstores as you’d like during the weekend of June 5 through June 7. Some of the stores will have special offers, we’re throwing a few fun events, and there’s a chance to win a prize! Come crawl with us!
Welcome to the second
New Jersey Bookstore Crawl!
Some words from last year’s crawlers
“The whole atmosphere made me feel comfortable & relaxed. These were all new stores I hadn’t been to before. I used to shop for books at [big corporations], but not anymore. Small businesses are the way to go.”
“The crawl made me get out of my house, out of my head, and onto the road! It was an adventure when I desperately needed one.”
“It was so fun walking into my favorite shops and seeing other people asking, ‘Are you here for the crawl, too?’ Those words sparked such joy and enthusiasm, and led to great discussions, book recommendations, and camaraderie among book lovers.”
