The best way to have an opinion on a banned book is to read it. Join us for #BannedBooksWeek October 4 – 10.

We’re featuring books that have been challenged or pulled from shelves due to censorship, because we shouldn’t be “protected” from great stories. At The Bookworm, we value your freedom to read anything. Come find a book that challenges you.

And mark your calendars for Let Freedom Read Day, Saturday, October 10th. Come see us for 11% off select banned books, a selfie station, giveaways, and voting information from @lwvgo from 10 am – 2 pm.

We acknowledge this change is coming with the event just around the corner, so thank you for your flexibility and understanding. We're grateful that the support and love for Kent means we've outgrown hosting him in-store.

Readers, authors, and friends,
After nearly 40 years of nurturing Bookworm Omaha into the store you know and love, Phil and Beth Black have passed ownership of the store to their son, Jeremy Black.
Phil and Beth have made this decision while they are in good health and the business is on solid ground.

Jeremy, his husband DyShaun, our management team & booksellers are excited to continue building upon what Phil and Beth started in 1986. As the baton passes to a new generation, Bookworm Omaha remains a beacon of bookish culture hosted by a knowledgeable & friendly staff. We are proud to keep serving readers across Omaha and beyond. Thank you for your continued support!

A letter by Phil and Beth on the transition is available at the link in bio. by @bookwormomaha

“By the end of this feverishly-composed rock 'n' roll masterpiece, you'll be on your feet shouting for an encore.”
—Layne Fargo, "The Favorites"

On Wednesday, October 14, join us as we welcome the bestselling author of "If We Were Villains" and "Graveyard Shift" to The Bookworm. "Hot Wax" is a vivid and immersive tale of one woman’s reckless mission to make sense of the events that shattered her childhood and made her who she is. Drenched in knock-down drag-out rock and roll, M.L. Rio's latest is a raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back—where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.
