How do you take part?

Pop into Matilda Bookshop and pick up your very own Global Book Crawl passport. From there, visit the shops listed and collect your stamps within the week. Get seven stamps to earn yourself a free audio book of your choice from Libro.fm and to enter the draw to win fifty books, handselected from our indie booksellers, to keep you reading all year long! If you’ve completed the crawl as a family, we also have free copies of Andy Griffith’s Land of Lost Things to give away.

Have you heard of Libro.fm? They’re an alternate audiobook service that partners with independent bookshops - it’s a way of listening to audiobooks and supporting us at the same time! What a great way to keep money in our local economy rather than the pockets of a big billionaire.

Our friends at Penguin Random House have also created the cutest, ultra-collectible Penguin Persona cards for crawl participants, free with every purchase of a Penguin book. There are six cards to collect - the detective, the foodie, the curious, the mystical, the little, and a mystery secret sixth identity! We only have a limited amount though, so better be quick before they waddle out of the door.

Spend over $100 and take home a free Global Book Crawl tote bag (which is also available to purchase for $19.99) while stocks last.

Global Book Crawl are also running a social media competition with further details available on the passport.
