A person in a green and white striped shirt with a red backpack is standing outside a bookstore, holding a book with a play button on the cover. The storefront has a sign that says 'LIBRAIRIE' above the entrance.

North of Boston Book Trail

In celebration of Indie Bookstore Day on April 25th, nineteen North of Boston bookstores have come together for the 3rd annual special passport challenge with over $5,500 in prizes!

How to Play

Visit as many bookstores as you can Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th. At each stop, get your passport booklet stamped! (You can download a printable version right here or pick up a physical novelty passport booklet at your first stop on April 25!)

At your last stop of the weekend, ask for a completion form from the bookseller to provide your information and mark where you visited to be entered in the prize drawings.

A random drawing will be conducted in May to select the winners. No purchase required to participate.

Can’t do it all in one weekend?

Visit all participating stores by Labor Day and enter to win the Slow & Steady Prize of a gift card bundle with $20 to ALL 20 shops! A $400 value!
