A ‘bookstore crawl’ returns to Brooklyn this month

For the first time since 2019, Brooklyn’s bookstores are inviting readers back for a borough-wide book crawl. Starting on April 23 and leading up to Independent Bookstore Day on April 30, those interested can pick up a “Bookstore Crawl Passport” at any of the 21 participating locations and fill out it with stamps and signatures from each bookstore visited for the chance to win a prize.

Those who visit five or more stores will receive a 25 percent off coupon valid at any of the bookstores, according to Greenlight Bookstore. Participants can also win prizes at the Bookstore Crawl afterparty which will be held at the Center for Fiction on April 30 at 7 p.m.
