Travel Portland, in partnership with Little Free Library and Alaska Airlines, is giving residents of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle the chance to find hidden Golden Bookmarks in Little Free Libraries in their cities. If you're one of the first ten eligible contestants to find a bookmark, you could win a flyaway trip to America's literary heart - Portland, Oregon!

This one-of-a-kind campaign celebrates Portland's vibrant book culture and the independent bookstores that fuel its literary spirit. The featured books, curated by some of Portland's most beloved bookstores - including Powell's Books, Third Eye Books, Always Here Bookstore, Grand Gesture Books, and Vivienne Culinary Books - highlight underrepresented authors and stories connected to the city. Each Golden Bookmark has been specially crafted by Portland's own Orox Leather Co., adding a touch of local craftsmanship to the adventure.

Ten (10) winners will each receive:

• Round-trip coach class airfare for the winner and one (1) guest on Alaska Airlines to Portland, OR
• Two (2) nights' accommodations in local Portland hotels
• $550 toward ground transportation and incidentals

To join the nationwide treasure hunt for a Golden Bookmark to Portland and a chance to win a literary getaway to Portland, OR, look for participating Little Free Library locations in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle beginning June 9th, 2025. Follow #GoldenBookmarkPDX and #PortlandLiterary on social media for potential clues and updates.

Celebrate the joy of discovery, support independent bookstores, and experience Portland's one-of-a-kind bookish spirit. Booklovers in Portland are invited to partake in a local literary search for the Golden Bookmark. To learn more, click here.
