Partners are collaborating to make this event an exciting and memorable experience for the children and their parents, guardians, and grandparents.
A group of very able volunteers are working under the leadership of Cathy Lyons and Phil Godon to ensure that all elements of the BookFest will culminate in success. In even greater measure, success will depend on the generosity of the community, its businesses, and its institutions which contribute financially and in-kind to make our vision a reality. These are listed on the Sponsors page.
Our vision is that children will be inspired toward greater heights through exposure to genuine, successful authors. Children will interact more enthusiastically with the authors if their significant adults engage with them. Both adults and children will find treasures in their time together. Hence the by-line: “Something to share with your kids and grandchildren”.
