Escape Hatch Books

We are so excited to be participating in the Melbourne chapter of the Global Book Crawl. Today is Day 4 out of 7 and it has been a thrill to meet everyone and stamp their passports as they crawl around the city. ��If you haven’t heard about it yet and are thinking “What is the Global Book Crawl?” �⁠
It is a self guided tour visiting bookshops in and around your city. You'll be part of a global event with dozens of cities, hundreds of bookshops, thousands of readers all taking part - in all parts of the world, including Fiji, Iceland and Liechtenstein.⁠
⁠
We are lucky enough to have 39 bookshops taking part in Melbourne and so you can complete zone 1 or zone 2 or a combination of both. The Book Crawl is free to join and you have until Sunday 26th April to complete it ��How you can take part...�Drop into your local bookshop and collect a passport, then collect a stamp at each store you visit. ⁠
Take advantage of the free public transport that we have in Melbourne. We have a tram stop almost right outside our door - the number 48! (And the Language International Bookshop just round the next corner so 2 stamps in 2 mins!⁠
⁠
Share your journey online, and connect with fellow book lovers around the world. Use the hashtag to enter the global chat. One photo, one post, one moment, and you'll be part of a movement that celebrates books, community, and the joy of getting lost among the shelves.��What's on offer:�A completed crawl is 9 stamps from zone 1 or zone 2 or 12 stamps from zone 1 and zone 2 and there are prizes to be won from kids books to vouchers to audiobooks.
