From KPBS:It's Book Crawl time again! All your favorite independent bookstores in San Diego will join forces for the weekend, beginning on Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, Apr. 30, 2022, lasting all weekend and into Monday, May 2. The Susie Ghahremani/boygirlparty commemorative pin this year is, as usual, cute — a raccoon snuggling a stack of books — and is available while supplies last by spending a minimum of $5 at eight of the participating bookstores. A new addition this year: If you haven't stopped by the new Libélula Books in Barrio Logan, make sure to include it on your crawlCheck this handy PDF map for details about each bookstore's hours and location.—Julia Dixon Evans, KPBSFrom the organizers:11 San Diego Independent Bookstores, 3 days, 1 passport, and you!The San Diego Book Crawl is back... in person!
