Description: One of Omaha’s best locally owned bookstores, the Bookworm is also a popular place for readings of all kinds and keeps a full schedule of author appearances and in-­person signings. Owners Phillip and Beth Black pride themselves on being independent and they stock a regularly changing selection of national best sellers, children’s literature, books written by local authors, and gift items for people who love to read. They also employ people who love books, and inquiring customers are sure to find a good answer if they have any questions about the store or its stock. An attached coffee shop gives patrons the chance to sit and enjoy a hot beverage while reading their latest purchase. The store has a designated meeting room for book clubs, and well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome in the store.
