WORDSTOCK (by Linked2Literacy) is a free community book festival, powered by book donations, that brings together readers of all ages to celebrate books, literacy, and community. Last year, over 1600 people attended this event and more are expected this year. Attendees can browse thousands of donated books, take home as many as they’d like, enjoy food trucks and family activities, meet community organizations, and listen to local celebrity readers.

WHY: Go to WORDSTOCK 2026 to get the full story. Linked2Literacy believes book ownership helps children create a path to future success. WORDSTOCK will give you a glimpse into this organization that’s already making a huge impact in our community.

DONATE BOOKS NOW! COLLECTION SITES OPEN JULY 8 – the public is invited to drop off their gently-used or new books for all ages at drop sites across Lincoln to help stock the shelves at WORDSTOCK
