Sponsor Spotlight  

Thank You to our 2024 Summer Featured Sponsor, Bookstr!

Bookstr knows the ultimate power of stories is to build empathy and understanding of all people, and consequently, a better, more tolerant, and inclusive world. At the heart of everything we do, lies our ethos, our raison d’être – connecting people through celebrating love for all things bookish. Bookstr’s mission is to bring together people who love books, community, and connection; and offer a platform that gives voices to the historically voiceless, shining a light on diverse topics and stories that have been underrepresented. While reading a book can be a solitary experience, Bookstr makes the journey exciting by enabling readers to share their love for books, with an ever-growing vibrant community.
