We offer the opportunity to find something similar, but equally important, something new, niche, or related. Our favorite question to ask customers is “what was the last book you read and loved?” and let the conversation flow from there. Conversations between people, readers and booksellers, are personable in a way algorithms cannot be. Hannah: We strive to greet every person as they enter the store and offer assistance before they leave, because that is a basis of hospitality. How do you help readers find their next favorite book? MUF: What do you want readers to experience when they visit The Bookworm? You and your staff seem to have especially strong backgrounds in books and education.

Omahans continue to show they want vibrant, physical spaces, and we are so appreciative. We can host programming of all kinds and stock magnificent books, but without community support and engagement we wouldn’t be here.

Hannah: Community support allows the Bookworm to thrive. MUF: It’s always a delight to see an independent bookstore that’s been going for a while (since 1986). What better place for a bookworm to visit than a store called The Bookworm? We’re talking today with their Children’s and Young Adult’s Manager, Hannah Amrollahi. Customers may also arrange to pay by phone and get curbside pick-up.
