ABOUT
The New Jersey Bookstore Crawl is an annual event founded in 2025 that encourages readers to visit and support as many of our state’s participating independent bookstores as they’d like during one weekend. Some of the stores have special offers, we’re throwing a few fun events, and there’s a chance to win a prize. Find answers to your questions here.
