FEATURED BUSINESS: THE BOOK WORM BOOKSTORE
The Book Worm Bookstore | Powder Springs, GA

Featured in USA Today!
The Book Worm received a beautification grant to enhance our outdoor area. We plan to create an amazing story garden for things like storytime, workshops, community reading, a place for teachers to reserve for field trips, and so much more.
The bad news is that it is a matching grant and the project needs to be completed by April 2024 to receive the funds. Even matching, the grant does not fully cover what is needed to complete the project and keep The Book Worm running.
This time The Book Worm needs your help. We have found a great family-owned local business that can help bring this vision to life. Not only will they be able to help us meet our deadline to receive the grant, but they have graciously agreed to donate the labor and materials to create an outdoor book nook in memory of Aaliyah Marshall-Douglin who passed away last year.
Before the bookstore, there was Julia the author. Author of the I Love ME! Book Series and with that a journey of I Love ME! Ambassadors. Aaliyah Marshall-Douglin was one of the original I Love ME! Ambassadors and the I Love ME! team have wanted to honor her memory and love for literacy. The book nook is our way of doing that.
Here is where we need your help. We need to come up with a minimum of $8,000 to get things started and to be able to begin the work all while keeping The Book Worm running. We also could use some help when it comes to demolishing the existing structure. Any labor we can take care of, will help reduce our overall costs.
We have about 1 week left to secure funds to get the project complete. If you can, please donate!
