BURST INTO BOOKS

It all started with a vision from founder Jurema Gorham. Burst Into Books has evolved from a dream of making books with representation more available to multiple programs, an annual festival, and beyond.

We have a number of events for all ages including co-working sessions, open mic sessions, weekly storytime and more!

Ready to book your event?

Our space is perfect for your next wellness event, book signing, business celebration, and more!
