The Visionary Beginning:
Bookworm Central started from a simple yet profound wish: to enrich children’s lives by providing them access to quality books. Our founder, Radhika Bajaj, didn’t just stop at books. She envisioned a company that would give back to schools and the community, laying the foundation for a legacy that prioritizes the holistic development of young minds.
Our Journey
Every great story has its heroes, and ours are Radhika Bajaj and her longtime friend and colleague, Laurie Rothenberg. They embarked on a mission to curate the finest books and introduce customized book fairs to schools. Their combined passion and dedication have been instrumental in shaping the Bookworm Central we know and love today.
Innovation at Its Best:
Bookworm Central proudly launched the first online bookfair in 1998. Though a novel concept at the time, this innovative approach has since become a cherished platform for our loyal customers.
Growth and Expansion:
From our humble beginnings in a leased warehouse in Fairfax, Virginia, our journey led us to expansive warehouses in Manassas, Virginia. This move laid the foundation for expanding our services beyond book fairs to a wide range of literacy programs.
