Prepare your shelves, Hoosiers. The Indy Indie Book Crawl is back.
Driving the news: The weekend-long celebration of central Indiana's independent booksellers kicks off in two weeks for its second year with more stores, prizes and activities.
How it works: From March 20-23, visit any of the 27 participating bookstores and they will stamp your official bookmark — available at all crawl locations.
At the end of the weekend, enter your information into the form linked on the bookmark and the Indy Indie Book Crawl Instagram for a chance to win prizes.
The more stores you visit, the higher your chance of winning. No purchase necessary to participate.
New this year: Bookstore Bingo (see above)!
What they're saying: "The first Indy Indie Book Crawl in 2024 blew away all our expectations," said Jake Budler, co-owner of Mass Ave's Tomorrow Bookstore and creator of the crawl.
More than 2,000 people participated last year and Budler said more are expected this year.
If you go: See the full list of participating bookstores, their locations and hours on the Book Crawl site.
