Join the worldwide celebration of local (indie, bricks and mortar) bookshops and those who love them. Booksellers join forces for one week to create a tapestry of neighbourhood strolls, car trails and unforgettable encounters. The heart of the Global Book Crawl is the joy of discovery: wandering through bookshops, getting lost in conversations, and finding titles you didn’t know you needed.

We're thrilled to be a part of Pae Tū Mōkai Featherston Pride's Q***r Market this year. This is one event during a wonderful weekend that was a huge success last year, and 2026 looks to be even bigger and better.

We'll be stocking our stall with an array of Aotearoa and international q***r lit and poetry, along with some favourite new releases and sale items.

There are a host of events happening across the weekend but why not pop in and see us from 10am - 12pm on 14th March!
