The eighth annual Wisconsin Book Festival, "Courage", will be a five-day celebration, in and around downtown Madison, from October 7 - 11, 2009. 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.
