Community
Bookmans is not only a reflection of our community, but a contributor to it. We are dedicated to encouraging those individuals and organizations that work to improve the quality of life in our own backyard through cash and product donations, as well as featured placement in our stores. Learn more about the groups and organizations we regularly support.
Featured Groups: Spring 2009
Our Causes
The interests and passions of the people who work for Bookmans are numerous and varied, but Literacy & Education, Free Speech, Animal Welfare, and the Environment are the core convictions that have guided us as a company for over 30 years.
Sponsorships
From roller derby and live music showcases to film series and record and book festivals, Bookmans regularly sponsors cultural events in Tucson, Flagstaff, and the Phoenix/Mesa area that are organized by dedicated local organizations and individuals. See what we're supporting in your neighborhood.
Local First Arizona
Did you know that when you shop at a locally owned business, 45¢ of every dollar stays in Arizona, versus 13¢ of every dollar spent at a national chain? Bookmans is proud to be a member of Local First Arizona, a non-profit collective of Arizona-owned businesses that works "to strengthen communities and local economies through supporting, maintaining, and celebrating locally owned businesses throughout the state of Arizona."
Party in the Park, Bookmans' 30th Anniversary
Party in the Park was borne from a simple wish: to give back to the community that has supported Bookmans Entertainment Exchange for over 30 years. Bob had a dream of a free, outdoor concert and we saw that dream become a reality on Sat., Nov. 3, 2007, as nearly 11,000 people joined us throughout the day for our 30th anniversary party in Tucson’s Reid Park. Arizona (and beyond!) turned out in droves for an all-day celebration of music, food, and good will. See what the press and customers had to say about this unique community event.

Featured Event
2010 Tucson Festival of Books!!!
It's time once again for the Tucson Festival of Books, a fun-filled two-day extravaganza that celebrates everything we love about storytelling and the written word. Last year's event was an amazing success with more than 50,000 people in attendance, and this year's event will be even bigger and better! Bookmans is proud to be a contributing sponsor of the Tucson Festival of Books again this year. Join us at our two Bookmans tents as we work together to create a giant Fight Censorship community art project, with book recommendations from you! In our Kids' Tent, we'll be bringing back our ever-popular canvas bag decorating from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. each day, with a fabulous storytime featuring balloon art, face-painting and free snacks from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.!
