Greater Charlotte Book Crawl — visit 19 indie bookstores in April for a chance at a prize

Greater Charlotte Book Crawl, which takes place from April 1 to 30, 2024, challenges you to visit some of the excellent indie bookstores in the Charlotte region.

The list of bookstores includes both used bookstores and new bookstores, all over the Charlotte region, including Cornelius, Davidson, Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Salisbury, Mooresville, Rock Hill, Charlotte and more.

You can download and print out your Book Crawl passport, or pick one up at any participating indie bookstore starting April 1, 2024.

When you visit the stores, get your passport stamped. You don’t need to make a purchase to get your passport stamped.

Bring your passport to your final bookstore on or before Sunday, April 30, 2024, and you’ll receive a limited edition 2024 Book Crawl Finisher’s tote bag.

You can also enter to win gift cards to some of the 2024 bookstores. There will be three winners.

Follow the stores on social media for special in-store events on April 27, 2024, Independent Bookstore Day.

In addition, the Promising Pages Book Drive will be taking place. Promising Pages provides books to students and organizations in the Charlotte area who don’t have access to books. The stores will have a selection of Wish List children’s books and will also collect donations of new and very gently used children’s books for preK to 5th grade readers.
