Kansas Book Festival
You are invited to join us at the 14th annual Kansas Book Festival on September 20 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Washburn University in Topeka.
It’s going to be a great day with author talks, music performances, food trucks, children’s activities, and exhibitor tents with publishers from around the region.
Stop by FoKL’s booth to say hello to our friendly board members! We’ll have information about the importance of Friends groups and library advocacy in our Kansas communities, and free Libraries YES! license plates for everyone who stops by while supplies last. Join or renew your FoKL membership at the festival and receive a nice book bag, or purchase one for $15.
The Kansas Book Festival is free and open to all ages. For more information, visit the Festival website at: www.kansasbookfestival.com.
