RDU Book Crawl

RDU Book Crawl ✦

April 24th - 26th 2026

✦ How the Crawl Works ✦

The RDU Book Crawl is a weekend long event celebrating independent bookstores across the Raleigh-Durham area. Participants are encouraged to visit as many participating bookstores as they can during the crawl.

1. Plan Your Crawl
Check out the list of participating bookstores and use the interactive map to plan your route across the Triangle.

2. Visit Participating Bookstores
Stop by any of the bookstores on the crawl during the event weekend. Each shop will have a special stamp for participants. Each location will have plenty of passports for you to pick up!

3. Collect Stamps
Bring your Book Crawl passport and collect a stamp at each bookstore you visit. 1 stamp = 1 raffle ticket

4. Discover New Reads
Browse shelves, meet fellow readers, and support independent bookstores while exploring new books.

Post along the way and tag @rdubookcrawl to show us your journey!

5. Enter the Raffle
Fill out the form on our “Enter Raffle” tab to be entered into a raffle for prizes donated by all of the participating bookstores.

Those who complete all 10 bookstores will be entered to win the 1st place prize! All other participants will be added to the general raffle for 2nd and 3rd
