San Diego’s Book Crawl in celebration of Independent Bookstore Day
Join us April 25-27, 2026!

Independent bookstores around San Diego, including the UC San Diego Bookstore, have teamed up to encourage readers to visit as many participating bookstores as possible in one weekend! You can visit one or all 15, but the more bookstores you visit, the more prizes you can earn! The San Diego Book Crawl is an opportunity for readers to explore the diversity of San Diego's local, indie bookstores and hopefully while discovering a new favorite read along the way!

The thought of driving to all the stores is a bit daunting? Consider an official crawl shuttle for one-day and two-day options! Each option includes free parking at UC San Diego. Follow the crawl on Instagram (@ucsdbookstore and @sdbookcrawl) for updates, tips, and more! Explore the book crawl official website now for full details.
