DELHI – Book lovers rejoice! The first ever Catskills Book Trail launches Saturday, April 25th. The indie bookstore crawl will take visitors across the Catskills, from Woodstock to Walton and everywhere in-between.
13 independent bookstores are participating in the trail. Visitors can pick up a passport at any participating shop, as well as select sponsor locations, and get them stamped at each stop, earning prizes along the way. Visit 12 or more stops to enter to win the grand prize: a $25 gift card to each and every shop on the trail.
The fun kicks off on Independent Bookstore Day (Saturday, April 25), which features a host of activities including the chance to win a year’s worth of audiobooks at select stores.
The trail continues through Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 10). A scenic drive through the Catskills is a great way to celebrate book-loving moms!
The Catskills Book Trail is made possible by generous support from our sponsors.
