DC Bookstore Crawl 2025!
Twenty-three independent bookstores across Washington DC are partnering for the annual DC Bookstore Crawl to help book lovers explore more of our region’s growing bookstore scene and offer them a way to celebrate with their favorites.
While each store will be celebrating on Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 26th with their own festivities, we will all be handing out a map to take with you. Customers can visit as many stores as they’d like to collect marks from each store. Once they have visited at least 6 stores, they can collect a special prize at the 6th store.
Pick up your map at our store or any of the participating independent DC bookstores or print one out yourself.
Post using #DCBookCrawl to win a $50 gift card to the bookstore of your choice.
Upload your completed map to win a year of free audiobooks courtesy of libro.fm.
