Help Us Celebrate the Wisconsin Book Festival - October 15 - 19, 2008
The seventh annual Wisconsin Book Festival, "Changing Places", will be a five-day celebration, in and around downtown Madison, from October 15 - 19, 2008. Designed to delight booklovers of all walks, tastes, and ages, the Festival features readings, lectures, book discussions, writing workshops, live interviews, children's events, and more. Events are spread throughout the downtown and beyond but we're most excited about the ones we'll be hosting right here at the library.
Celebrate Teen Read Week, October 12-18, by attending Wisconsin Book Festival Events featuring authors for teens or attend events for kids, families, or related to children's literature.
