We are so excited to announce that Abalabix Books has been invited to participate in an Independent Bookstore Regional Passport Program originated by Blue House Books in Kenosha, WI.
Twelve bookstores in Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois are participating in this year’s Passport Program! Book lovers have had so much fun with this promotion over the last couple of years, and it’s exciting for Abalabix Books and others to be added to the route in 2025!
Starting April 1st, pick up a passport from any of the participating stores and start shopping! If you visit at least three of the participating bookstores, you could win a gift card to your hometown store or the Grand Prize basket of books and gifts from all 12 stores! Thanks to having more stores involved in our program this year, we will have THREE GRAND PRIZE winners! Which gives YOU a better chance at winning. Visit more stores and earn more chances to win!
Here are the details:
Spend at least $15 at three participating bookstores and earn a sticker, a raffle entry for a $20 gift card to your hometown store, and an entry into the main raffle filled with several books and other prizes!
Spend at least $15 at six participating bookstores and earn one extra entry to the main raffle!
Spend at least $15 at nine participating bookstores and earn one more entry to the main raffle!
Spend at least $15 at 12 participating bookstores and earn one more entry to the main raffle! (That’s four entries into the main raffle!)
Submit your completed passport to any participating store by April 30th.
