Hello, July! The Bookmark Bookstore is kicking off its first Monthly Member Sale on Saturday, July 19. Members receive 50% off on Saturday from 11AM-6PM; everyone receives 30% off on Sunday, July 20 from 11AM-5PM. Don't miss our store-wide dollar item deal (3 for $2), as well as hundreds of other deeply discounted items.

This summer, we're excited to be a sponsor of Summer at the Oakland Public Library. It's not too late to participate! Adults who log 20 days of activities can receive a $10 coupon exclusively for the Bookmark.

Please note: we'll be closed on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. Our Donation Center will be closed for the holiday and will reopen on Saturday, July 5 (12-4PM).

This July, we're excited about our Bookshop.org Summer Bucket List and our in-store "Feels Like Summer" curation. Browse our collections of sizzling beach reads, DIY inspo, and more.

We're also commemorating Disability Pride Month in honor of the July 26, 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Check out our recommended reading list below, featuring titles aimed at destigmatizing disability while amplifying visibility and combating ableism. Join us in celebrating the strengths, influence, and joys of the disability community!

Choose the Bookmark Bookstore as your affiliate shop and a portion of your Bookshop.org purchase will support the Oakland Public Library, empowering all people to explore, connect, and grow.
