SUMMARY:Third Annual Indie Bookstore Crawl
DESCRIPTION:Third Annual Indie Bookstore Crawl\,\n\ncalled the #ChiLoveBooks Challenge\,\n\non Independent Bookstore Day - Saturday\, April 27\, 2019\n\n \n\nChicago\, April 1\, 2019    Yet again\, Chicagoland proves itself to be the dream destination for book lovers and readers of all ages! More than two dozen independent bookstores in the greater Chicago area from Lake Forest to Beverly\, and Naperville to the Loop are collaborating on a third annual #ChiLoveBooks Challenge\, which encourages book lovers to indulge in bookstore tourism by visiting 10 or more stores in a single day.    \n\n \n\nThe annual challenge is being held again on Independent Bookstore Day (IBD)\, which is a one-day national party celebrating indie book stores on the last Saturday in April. Each store creates its own unique events including guest authors\, special kids' story times\, readings\, contests\, giveaways\, and special sales.\n\n \n\nTo begin their trip\, readers can pick up a #ChiLoveBooks passport and their first stamp with an initial purchase of $25 or more from the store of their choice. \n\nAdditional bookstore visits throughout the day (no purchase required) enable them to collect an additional stamp at each subsequent bookstore. The payoff comes for visits at the following levels:\n\n	Visit TEN stores in one day and get 10% off at all bookstores listed below for an ENTIRE YEAR!\n	Visit FIFTEEN stores in one day and get 15% off at all bookstores listed below for an ENTIRE YEAR!  \n\n \n\nAlso\, readers are encouraged to post a snapshot of themselves and their Independent Bookstore Day haul on #ChiLoveBooks.\n\n \n\nThe #ChiLoveBooks Challenge is being sponsored by the Chicagoland Independent Bookstore Allliance (ChIBA)\, an association formed in 2016 to raise awareness about the vitality of the area's indie stores\, and the Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association (GLIBA).
