Events
In addition to the crawl itself, we have a few exciting events lined up. All are welcome to attend, and all events have free entry.
All bookstore events are listed on their pages, which you can find here, and the stores are the points of contact for any questions regarding those events!
Please note that any events not listed here that take place during the crawl weekend may be planned by organizations that are not affiliated with us, and we are unable to answer any questions about them.
Coffee, Coloring, & Crawl Guides
Want to ease into the chaos of a busy crawl weekend? Come find us at Cafe Willy, located in the Williams Center right next to Soldato Books & Records. Grab a coffee and a crawl guide, and spend some time coloring with us!
RAD Co. has created a bookstore crawl-themed coloring sheet just for us, and we’ll have plenty of art supplies.
We’ll also have a free raffle for a prize that you can enter to win if you stop by.
Cafe Willy is on the upper level of the Williams Center, accessible by stairs or elevator. Soldato Books and Records, a participating bookstore on the crawl, is also on the upper level and opens at noon. The cafe serves Cozz Coffee and has many drink specials!
Jersey Collective Sticker Machine Pop-Up
Get your quarters ready!
During the crawl weekend, stop by House Finch and visit our sticker machine. You can get our exclusive book-themed designs by local artists (read about them and their work here).
House Finch is a suburban nature store that offers supplies, books, and gifts for birders, wildlife habitat hobbyists, and anyone curious about nature and wildlife right outside their door. Be sure to say hello to their shop cat, Loon, when you visit the sticker machine!
The store is located in downtown Collingswood, a short walk from Kiss and Tale and a short drive from Inkwood Books.
Come whenever House Finch is open, and please bring quarters if you can!

Saturday, June 6: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Sunday Afterparty
Wind down after your weekend at our casual afterparty! Show off your purchases, meet other crawlers, and celebrate another year of the New Jersey Bookstore Crawl. We’ll also have a free raffle you can enter to win.
Come and go any time during the event window. Please note that 3BR closes at 8:00 PM, so plan accordingly!
