3rd Annual North of Boston Book Trail’s Passport Challenge

On April 25th & 26th, 2026, join us for the 3rd Annual North of Boston Book Trail’s Passport Challenge! The Passport Challenge kicks off Independent Bookstore Day Weekend, which celebrates & shines a spotlight on indie bookstores. This year the NOBBT includes 20 independent bookstores North of Boston! Participants can pick up a passport booklet at their first stop (there’s also a print-at-home page on the website) and collect stamps at the shops on the trail. There are some great prizes to be won depending on how many stores are visited over the two days! Want to take your time visiting each shop? Consider the ‘Slow & Steady’ tier, which gives participants until Labor Day to visit all 20 stores.
