Join the GLOBAL BOOK CRAWL [April 20-26, 2026]

Australians know all about a pub crawl, but how about a book crawl? Your favourite local bookshops have joined the international initiative, GLOBAL BOOK CRAWL [GBC], and you’re invited to take part in the fun!

From 20 to 26 April 2026, the GBC brings together bookstores and book lovers from around in the world, with a simple yet powerful idea: to unite local bookshops, readers and writers in a celebration of literature, community and culture.

A Book Crawl is an adventure through the heart of a city or region’s local bookshops. Using your GBC Passport, collect a stamp at every bookshop you visit and look out for special activities for families, children and younger readers.

Use #globalbookcrawl @global.bookcrawl.australia on social media to add your book crawl to the global story, sharing the magic of your local bookshops with a worldwide audience.
