The Book with Purpose program aims to unite the community in dialogue around one central theme. The program began in 2021 and has continued with topics that are relevant to the larger community and wider world. Bookmarks collaborates with community organizations to connect people from all walks of life in meaningful conversation throughout the summer and fall.
Book Distribution:
4,000 copies of our Book With Purpose selection will be donated this year. Programming will be held June through August around the greater Winston-Salem area.
The 2026 Book with Purpose selection is Punished For Dreaming by Dr. Bettina Love.
