Come for the free books and stay for all the fun activities! Whether you’re a fan of fiction or non-fiction, or looking for children’s books, there’s something for everyone at Book Fest. In addition to free books, there will be children’s story time (in English, Spanish, and possibly Somali), a special book auction, and a book art project!
