Sydney Global Book Crawl

Join Sydney book lovers on the 2026 Global Book Crawl! From 20 to 26 April 2026, the GBC will bring together bookstores and book lovers from around in the world, with a simple yet powerful idea: to unite local bookshops in a celebration of local literature, community and culture.
