3 reviews for The Bookworm
I recently met a friend for capuccino at the adjoining coffee shop and she introduced me to the owner and staff of the Bookworm. It's a wonderful bookstore with a good selection of quality books, including children's lit. They even keep track of what the different grades' bookclubs are reading, plus they have bookclub selections for adults. I asked for a recommendation on Omaha history and received an excellent and very fun book , A Dirty, Wicked Town by David Bristow. My husband and I are enjoying it immensely (Time to make the donuts!).
I think this place will become a favorite of mine. It is located in Country Side Village, which also has a good cake bakery, a gourmet grocery, art galleries, a knit shop and a needlepoint shop.
The Bookworm is a nice, medium-sized bookstore with an extensive card and stationery section. Downstairs is a great children's and young-adult department. The staff is friendly without being overbearing and the books are well-organized.
It is a welcoming shop--there are always cookies or some snacky food near the main entrance and, besides an active roster of book groups, lots of authors stop in for readings and signings.
They won't have everything you are looking for, but, for the size of the store, their stock is great.
One of the best local independent booksellers. A pretty good selection, friendly staff, and lots of author signings and other fun events, as well as an attached coffee house, comfortable chairs, and numerous special services make this an exceedingly pleasant place to spend a few hours browsing the stacks.
