Bring a bag or tote of any size or purchase a tote from Indy Reads and fill it with books from the marked sections for only $10! \n\n\n\nPlease visit as many stores as you can over those dates to win great book prizes! In addition to the Book Crawl\, there is a new (optional) Book Crawl Bingo that you can play along the way. \n\n\n\nHere is how IIBC works: \n\n\n\n– Pick up a 2025 IIBC bookmark from any participating store starting (full store list below) or at the IIBC2025 Kick Off Party on 3/19.

No purchase is necessary but buying books is always encouraged \n\n\n\n– Follow @indyindiebookcrawl on Instagram and make at least one social media post during the book crawl dates (does not apply if you do not have social media accounts) \n\n\n\n– Completely a “bingo” also gets you into the bingo prize drawing! \n\n\n\nQuick links: \n\n\n\n– PARTICIPATING STORES/HOURS \n\n\n\n– BOOKSTORE EVENTS DURING IIBC \n\n\n\n– GOOGLE MAP STORE LIST \n\n\n\nOnce you have finished your Indy Indie Book Crawl\, fill out this form by 3/26 and keep your bookmark (and bingo card if you participated in that)!
