The Southern Kentucky Book Fest is a two day community event. Day 1 is Children's Day which is held Friday and is devoted to school children, librarians, and educators. Students have the opportunity to meet and hear from their favorite authors, participate in dramatic and musical performances, and exercise their creativity in the make and do area. It's lots of fun for teachers and parents too! This year Children's Day is on Friday, April 15 from 9am to 2 pm. Day 2 is held on Saturday and is the major book festival and signing event. This year the Book Fest is on Saturday, April 16 from 9am to 4pm. Activities from Children's Day are repeated plus all the adult authors and presentations are added. Admission to both days is generally free except for special ticketed events that are announced in advance. For more information, or if you would like to bring your class to Children's Day, please contact Lisa Rice at 270-781-4882, ext. 202.
