Bookstore trail details

 The goal of the Cape and Islands Bookstore Trail is to share a love of literature and highlight the unique and diverse array of independent bookstores on Cape Cod and the Islands.


We begin the Bookstore Trail on Independent Bookstore Day and will end on Freedom to Read Day, which closes out Banned Books Week, all of which are very important independent bookstore occasions. 


Document your travels as you explore our unique bookstores on Cape Cod and the Islands by sharing your experience with us on social media:

  • Ask for a book sticker at each store you visit to mark your map.
