Book lovers, you’ll love this. Indy Indie Book Crawl, which launched just last year, is back from Thursday, March 20 through Sunday, March 23.

The idea: visit as many local stores as you can over the four days to win great book prizes. This year, there’s an optional Book Crawl Bingo that you can play along the way too.

How it works

  • Pick up a IIBC bookmark (and optional Bingo card) from any participating store starting on Thursday.
  • Visit as many stores as you can from March 20-23 (there is no minimum).
  • Each store you visit will stamp your bookmark, which counts for one entry to win a grand prize. No purchase is necessary, but buying books is always encouraged.
  • Completing a Bingo card also gets you into the separate Bingo prize drawing.
  • Fill out this form AFTER your crawl.
