20 bookshops unite for Singapore's first Indie Bookshop Day, with book talks, stamp trails and more
The inaugural event will take place from Oct 2 to 4 with 20 indie bookshops across Singapore hosting various activities celebrating books, readers and the communities around them.
In a novel celebration of books and reading, 20 independent bookshops across Singapore will unite for the inaugural Singapore Indie Bookshop Day (SGIBD) from October 2 to 4. The programs will take place at each participating shop, offering a diverse range of activities such as storytelling sessions, author visits, bookshop stamp rallies, live portraits, and workshops.
The event aims to showcase the unique identities of each bookshop and foster community engagement. SGIBD is organized by the participating bookshops, the Singapore Book Publishers Association, the National Arts Council, and international publisher Hachette Book Group. Participants are encouraged to collect stamps from at least half of the shops to enter a lucky draw for prizes such as book vouchers and curated gift sets.
The event not only celebrates the world of books but also highlights the vibrant communities that bookshops create and the conversations that take place within them.
