“Today a reader,

tomorrow a leader.”

  • Bookwood is Oakwood's annual literary event - like our very own book festival! It takes place each year on the elementary campus, but it's an event for the entire school - K-12! Your ticket covers food, drinks, crafts, and author events. Bring funds to purchase Oakwood merch, as well as books from our Book Fair and special guest authors!

  • Visit Tickets & Sponsorships to purchase all tickets! Guest author conversation, activities/crafts, and food are included in the admission price.

  • That's right! All of the delicious food and activities at Bookwood are included in the purchase of any ticket.

  • A sponsorship DOES NOT include a ticket to Bookwood. Individual or family tickets will still need to be purchased for admission to the event.

  • YES! We encourage the whole Oakwood family and guests to attend. Faculty and staff attend for free.

  • Bookwood is an event powered completely by parent/guardian volunteers. Without your help, Bookwood does not happen. CLICK HERE TO VOLUNTEER.

    Sponsors are also needed to help offset the cost of this affordable, family-fun event. We try to cover all of the costs of the event through ticket sales and sponsorships so all net proceeds will benefit the Explorations programs at the Oakwood elementary campus. Visit Tickets & Sponsorships for more info.

  • YES!!! Shop the Scholastic Book Fair during Bookwood and purchase books for the whole family (including a selection of adult bestsellers and teen reads). The Book Fair accepts cash and credit cards, or you can set up an eWallet here:  https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/oakwoodelementaryschool7

    We will also feature signed books for purchase from Oakwood parent authors and special friends. Signed books will be available for purchase with credit cards, Apple pay, and Venmo only - no cash.

  • Yes! We will have a merch pop-up selling hoodies, t-shirts, hats, book bags, and PJ pants. Please note that this is a cashless event—credit cards, Apple Pay, and Venmo will all be accepted at the merch booth.

  • Please email Bookwood co-chairs, Brandi Dougherty and Liane Ly, directly. They would be happy to hear from you!
