Awesome Organizations

Non-profits across America are struggling. So many of us are consumed by our own financial needs and time restrictions, we neglect volunteer work and donations to worthy local organizations. Over the past two decades, staff at The Alabama Booksmith is proud to have benefitted the great groups listed below by sponsoring events or making donations.

Please check out their missions, find some that appeal to you, and dig up a few hours or a few dollars to join us in assisting these wonderful folks. We guarantee you will receive much more than you give – we surely have.

Rick Bragg in the Movies

Purchase the DVD of Alabama’s Rick Bragg: Out of the Dirt, including much bonus footage not seen in the original documentary.

Listen in on distinguished Alabamaians, local friends and family tell inside tales on Rick as a child and award-winning best-selling author. Rick also gives his life’s philosophy in many scenes. Find out about his mother’s poetry; hear his aunt tell of dressing him as a girl when he was a tot. If ever there was a priceless gift, this is it.
