Bookwormz is a user-supported database designed to find and thereby support independent bookstores throughout the world. As lifelong readers, we are passionate about supporting our local booksellers, and preserving that bond between reading and our community.

Independent bookstores not only cater to their communities, they are a part of them. Local businesses help give towns and cities their own distinctive characteristics, making each community unique. Sadly, booksellers and other independent merchants are disappearing daily in communities throughout the country. Help support these businesses by patronizing their shops and add your local bookstore to this site if you don't see it listed. By supporting these independent merchants, you invest in your own community.
