Bookshop Day at Scorpio Books
We have a plethora of special offers to spice up the shop and celebrate the joy of good books.
There will be spot prizes, giveaways, special appearances by local authors, blind dates with books, literature-themed dress-ups and the chance to win our Big Bookstack! If you’re looking for things for young readers to do, make sure you check out what’s happening across the courtyard at Telling Tales as well.
Bookshop Day is about celebrating your local bookshop. Share why you love what we do, and you can go in the draw to receive one of four prizes of $250 in Booksellers Book Tokens, courtesy of Booksellers Aotearoa New Zealand. All you need to do is fill in a special Love Your Bookshop Postcard at our in-store activity station. Write the reasons why you love your local bookstore on the postcard, hand it in to us, and we’ll send it in to Booksellers Aotearoa New Zealand after Bookshop Day.
There will be heaps of spot prizes to giveaway on the day. Keep an eye on our Scorpio Books social media accounts for the code word. Repeat this code word to staff at our main counter on Bookshop Day, and you can pick your prize from our special Bookshop Day stash, while stocks last!
Another way to get a chance to raid the spot prize stash: dress up! Come to the store on Bookshop Day in a literature-themed costume, say hi to our staff at our main counter, and you too can receive a special spot prize (while stocks last).
Bookshop Day is run by the Booksellers Association of New Zealand to encourage book lovers, like you, to celebrate your local bookshop. The artwork this year is by Donovan Bixley, who took our themes of Community, Hope and Fun and created these masterpieces. Keep an eye on the Booksellers Association of New Zealand website and their social media for updates on how you can celebrate Bookshop Day around the country. We can’t wait to celebrate 10 years of Bookshop Day with you!
