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.
