BookStock 2026: Free Family Fun at Tuscaloosa’s Government Plaza
A mix of books, fun, and community is set to fill Tuscaloosa’s Government Plaza once again as the Literacy Council of West Alabama brings back BookStock on Saturday, March 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
BookStock will feature a variety of engaging activities for all ages, including an event-wide scavenger hunt, hands-on bookbinding with the UA Books Arts program, and creative crafts with the Druid City Makerspace.
The event is free and “open to the public, and will include free books for all, and information on LCWA programs," said the press release. Also, “visit the registration table upon arrival to receive a free lunch ticket to Heat Pizza Bar.”
Attendees can also enjoy bookmark building, color their own book covers, and paint Little Libraries. Plus, children in Kindergarten to 6th grade can join in the fun during the Wild Symphony character parade at 12:30 p.m., inspired by Dan Brown.
Kids are encouraged to wear costumes and bring their imagination. There will be “three prize winners with the best interpretation of the book receiving a $100 gift card to Shindig,” said the press release.
