2024 Independent Bookstore Day!

Seattle-area booksellers are once again offering the Bookstore Day Passport Challenge. For 2024, local book (and bookstore) lovers will be challenged to visit all 28 participating Seattle-area independent bookstores, and, as in the past few years, they will have ten days to complete the challenge. Woo hoo!

Independent Bookstore Day is on Saturday, April 27, and the challenge must be completed by Monday, May 6.

Book fanatics who complete the challenge will receive a Bookstore Day Champion Stamp Card, good for a one-time 25% discount at each participating store and valid until April 25, 2025.

Like last year, we are also offering an intermediate reward: those who don’t complete the full challenge but get their passport stamped at at least five participating stores during the ten-day period will receive a single 25%-off coupon, good at any of the participating stores.

All the details (and they get more info posted as things get firmed up!) is on the official SIBD website, here. And most importantly -- all of the 28 participating bookstores are listed! Some new ones this year! 

The 2024 Independent Bookstore Day Exclusive Merchandise is listed here! You can buy it in the shop starting Saturday 4/27/24 at 10am. And you can purchase it online starting Sunday 4/28/24 at noon! Excellent!

Join the fun and follow them on all of the things: Facebook; Instagram; Twitter/X/Whatever.
