Big Books Day

December 27, 2025
Every donation of $10 or more today has a chance to win a $500 gift card to Powell’s Books. Today is your day, bookworms — set aside your latest page-turner (don’t worry, you’ll have your nose back in a book in no time) and make sure you’re in the running for your favorite thing: more books!
Powell’s gift cards can be redeemed at any of their retail locations, including the famous flagship store at NW 10th and Burnside, or online at www.powells.com.
⍟ Are you 35 or under? We have a second $500 Powell’s gift card set aside just for our younger donors. That means two chances to win today for 35U donors!
Big thanks to our BGD partners at Powell's Books. Powell's Books is an independent bookseller serving Portland, Oregon, since 1971. Through Powells.com and their expansive online community, they also reach readers around the world, people who are as excited about books as they are.
As an independent bookstore, Powell’s Books understands the power of community and is honored to give back by partnering with Willamette Week to support Portland’s nonprofits.
