This year's Festival of Words 2026 has grown and is involving even more opportunities to meet, greet and network! We have alot of amazing options added in. We are encouraging individuals of ALL ages to submit a 2 minute or less Origin Story! Our opportunity to earn free tickets towards amazing gift baskets is shaping up to be GREAT! Participating in this year's Independent Book Scavenger Hunt now only helps build momentum for Library Month celebrations! More authors covering excitement from K-12 is building up every day for May 9th!
