Love Your Bookshop Day 2022
‘Follow your heart to your local bookshop.’
This Saturday 8 October, celebrate Love Your Bookshop Day!
Love Your Bookshop Day (LYBD) is an annual celebration of everything local bookshops do from fostering expert staff and curating fabulous ranges to creating events programs to celebrate authors, readers, and the books they cherish.
To get involved and help support your local bookshops, you can:
- Play Bookshop Bingo and support some Melbourne-based bookstores (participating stores are Amplify Bookstore, Brunswick Bound, Brunswick St Bookstore, The Chestnut Tree Bookshop, The Little Bookroom, Mary Martin Bookshop, Neighbourhood Books, the Paperback Bookshop, and The Sun Bookshop),
- Use the hashtags #loveyourbookshop #LYBD2022 on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook,
- Purchase a LYBD tote, pin, or pair of socks, or
- Enter one of the LYBD competitions! There is a kids’ colouring competition, a book photo competition, and a ‘Why I Love my Bookshop’ competition.
And if you need more recommendations of what to purchase when out supporting your bookstores — just browse through the Scribe website for some seriously good suggestions.
