Love Your Bookshop Day 2023

Bookshops offer us much more than a book.

They present limitless portals to different worlds. Visiting a bookshop provides us all with an opportunity to be transported to wherever we want to go, maybe it’s climbing a multi-storey treehouse to find the marshmallow machine, a trip to the outer edges of the universe exploring Arrakis, or even back in time to watch the first pages of the Oxford dictionary come together. Wherever we want to go, we can get there in our local bookshop.

Love Your Bookshop Day 2023 celebrates the unique role local bookshops play in helping to expand our worlds. Head to Fullers on Saturday 7th October to find your way to a world of infinite possibilities…

We’ll be celebrating ourselves (there, we said it) with a bunch of fun things for one and all:

• Fullers Flash Fiction competition: We’re asking for your best stories in 25 words or less. The theme to write to is ‘In the bookshop…’ and the winner gets a $50 Fullers voucher, plus a signed hardback copy of this year’s Miles Franklin winner, Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens (the runner up gets a signed Chai Time too!) Send your snappy stories to admin@fullersbookshop.com.au
• Kids drawing competition: Once more the theme is ‘In the bookshop…’ so kids, we want your best bookish drawings! We’ll have paper and coloured pencils in abundance. The winner will receive a $30 Fullers voucher (and two runners up will each get $20 vouchers)
• Blind Date with a Book: It’s back! Hand wrapped book-shaped surprises, enticingly described by your favourite Fullers booksellers. Get in quick to snap one up.
