It’s on! In celebration of NZ Bookshop Day 2022, Booksellers Aotearoa is hosting a nationwide bookmark treasure hunt, 1-8 October 2022.

Find the bookmark (that looks like the one right here) at your local participating bookstore and stand a chance to win one of five $500 Book Tokens!

Taking part is pretty simple.

  1. Go to your local ‘The Great Bookshop Day’ participating book store
  2. While you sample your next read, find the bookmark
  3. Congratulations! Now fill your details and hand it over to the counter to go to the draw

The more bookmarks you find, the more chances of winning! As a bonus, you can also enter to win by making a purchase in-store.

Bookmark hunting season is from 1st to 8th October. So, brush up your sleuthing skills and head on over to your local participating bookstore. Happy hunting!

    About NZ Bookshop Day

    The first NZ Bookshop Day was in 2015 when Booksellers realised that the narrative around bookshop and book industry health had become negative and needed to change. Since the end of the GFC in 2011, the number of independent bookshops in Aotearoa has continued to rise, a trend that we are still seeing today. Local bookshops have become community centres and attract customers back to bricks and mortar retail supporting their neighbourhoods. NZ Bookshop Day celebrates those achievements and welcomes readers back inside their local bookshop.
