The cursed COVID-19 has claimed another casualty as a 46-year Tri-City tradition will document its final chapter as a local business when the Bookworm reaches THE END on July 31, 2020.

Due to the ever changing COVID-19 pandemic, ownership made the decision to close The Bookworm and retire from the business. Their last day will be July 31, 2020.

The ol' "EVERYTHING MUST GO" rally cry is going out as they will be hawking inventory at discounted pricing, even their entire rows of book cases are fair game for sale as well.

Due to a recent computer hack, store credit can be used only if their system can retrieve your credit information. No more trade-ins or special orders, if a special order has already been pre-paid, your money will be refunded if the release date is after they close the doors for good on July 31st.
