📚✨ Introducing the first-ever Trini Book Crawl! ✨📚

Here’s how it works:

➡️ Collect stickers for each stop
➡️ Complete your map = chance to win a GRAND PRIZE 🎉
🎁 Plus, the first child & adult to complete it also win a special prize each!
It’s a fun, family-friendly way to explore local bookshops, discover new reads, and make memories all across Trinidad.
✨ P.S. We’ll be revealing the participating stores soon, so stay tuned!
🎒📖 Teachers — this makes a great reading challenge or field trip idea! Let’s get our young readers excited about local bookstores. DM us if your school would like printed maps or flyers.
Get ready for a month-long literary adventure with the Trini Book Crawl 2025, happening from 1st to 30th June.
