BOOKWORKS

As of 2023, Bookworks is owned by an LLC (Bookworks on Rio Grande) funded by group of 15 people. The group invested in the store to ensure it stayed open and remained robust. Shannon Guinn-Collins and Nancy Guinn are the majority members and oversee the store's operations... Bookworks has been a literary meeting place in Albuquerque since 1984, from its original home in Albuquerque's Rio Grande Valley in what was then the Dietz Farm Plaza, and now in the next stage of life, next to the Flying Star Cafe in the Shops on Rio Grande. The store is well-known for high-quality events and readings, including local, regional, and nationally-known authors. We partner with organizations such as the Albuquerque Public Library Foundation and the Leopold Writing Program to offer event series, including A Word with Writers and Writing the Wild, and we hold events both in the store and in venues throughout the community. In 2023, approximately 80% of our events features local and regional authors.....
