Meet the Organizations & Friends Who Make Bookstock Possible…
Bookstock is a Festival of Words … words that inform, challenge, inspire and activate. It is one distinctive way that Woodstock shows what it values…by showcasing the best creativity, thoughts, diversity and ideas of our times…right in the center of town!.
This annual event is produced by volunteers, donors, businesses, non-profits and key organizations in the Woodstock area.
