Go on a Bookstore Adventure for Independent Bookstore Day

Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day with a family-friendly bookstore crawl that invites you to explore local bookshops across the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. You can pick up a passport at participating stores, gather stamps as you visit, and enjoy the charm of browsing shelves together. It is a welcoming way for you to support Minnesota’s independent bookstores while discovering spaces that feel lively, creative, and easy to enjoy with kids. Many participating stores may also offer activities, author readings, discounts, and special items, adding extra reasons to stop in and make an afternoon of it. This is a simple, low-pressure outing that can spark curiosity, encourage reading, and turn a neighborhood errand into a fun family adventure.
