The Bookies Bookstore
Fifty years ago, Sue Lubeck decided the children of Denver needed a magical bookstore. She filled her home basement with children's books and opened her doors. After 10 years, the books and teaching supplies burst out of the basement and into a bookstore, where they invited a few new friends to join them, like adult books, toys and games.
After Sue's death in 2021, The Bookies was purchased by Nicole Sullivan, owner of BookBar Press as well as the founder and President of literary non-profit BookGive. At the time of purchase, The Bookies became a Public Benefit Corporation.
Many of the staff members are Denver teachers, teacher mentors and tutors who know the latest trends and requirements in education today. The Bookies is a major supplier of books, classroom sets, educational resources and professional development materials to Colorado school districts, as well as neighboring states—even California, New York, and China.
