This celebratory campaign is organised by Books Are My Bag, an initiative which promotes and supports high street bookshops all year round – because bookshops make a difference. You'll discover brilliant activities happening in bookshops near you, from exclusive editions of new books to author events and more. Choose bookshops this weekend – and don't forget your National Book Tokens! Since 2013, Bookshop Day has been marked with a beautiful limited-edition bag, designed each year by a different artist and sold exclusively in bookshops. This year's bag is by illustrator Ashwin Chacko – and we've got 10 to give away, each paired with a £20/€25 National Book Token to help you fill your new bag with books from your favourite bookshop.

At National Book Tokens, we're proud to sponsor the Books Are My Bag Readers Awards – the only book awards that reflect the truly diverse tastes of real booklovers and the bookshops they love to visit. The shortlists for this year's awards span seven categories – Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry, Young Adult Fiction, Children's Fiction, Picture Book, and Newcomer of the Year – each curated by a panel of booksellers and voted on by the public.
