Support ABQ Book Stores

In the fall of 2014, Bookworks celebrated 30 years as a locally-owned and operated independent business.

As one of Albuquerque’s last remaining local, independent bookstores, we are dedicated to supporting our community and connecting books and readers.

Bookworks hosts 400-500 adult, young adult, and children’s events annually.

Bookworks has been a literary meeting place in Albuquerque since 1984, from its original home in Albuquerque’s Rio Grande Valley in the Dietz Farm Plaza where it was founded by Nancy Rutland, up to its present location owned by Danielle Foster and Wyatt Wegrzyn next to Flying Star Cafe in the Shops on Rio Grande. As a locally-owned small business, Bookworks pays taxes that support our community, pays wages and provides benefits to its Albuquerque employees, donates gift certificates and books to local nonprofit organizations, supports local libraries, and gives back to our community however we can, whenever we can.
