Welcome to Read the Region!

We are an alliance of Independent Bookstores across the Greater Sacramento Region! This app is currently used for checking into our bookstores during our events and will eventually be a great place to see what is happening at each of our stores throughout the year!

About our Independent Bookstore Day Book Crawl 2026 4/24 - 4/26

This year we have extended our fourth annual Independent Bookstore Day Book Crawl to the entire weekend! That's right, more time to visit all your favorite stores and earn great swag along the way!

Use this app to "check-in" at each store upon spending a minimum of $10 at checkout. This will earn you that store's corresponding swag item and a ticket to be entered to win one of three huge prize collections!

Each store will have special hours and fun events throughout the weekend so be sure to visit the "about" section for each store and start planning your route today!

Have fun and thanks for supporting indie bookstores!
