Welcome to the first-ever CNY Book Crawl — a region-wide literary roadtrip stretching across five counties, 19 bookshops, and countless stories waiting to be discovered.
From the heart of Onondaga County to the hidden gems of Madison County, the cozy corners of Cortland County, the lakeside charm of Oswego County, and the historic streets of Cayuga County, this is your invitation to explore the indie bookstores that make Central New York a reader’s paradise.
Each stop on the crawl is more than just a shop! It’s a carefully curated adventure. Meet passionate booksellers, uncover your next favorite read, and experience the magic that happens when local businesses come together to celebrate the love of reading.
Whether you’re in it for the full crawl or just a one stop, this is your chance to turn a simple bookstore visit into a full-blown summer quest.
