The Community Festival works with community groups, neighborhood
residents, the city, public safety and health officials, law enforcement
agencies, and private vendors to create a safe and peaceful event for
our entire community. Our goals are to build community bridges, nurture
collaboration through safe, peaceful, sustainable practices, initiate
opportunities for community involvement and activism, and promote a more
unified, tolerant, and equitable community. 

The festival will feature a whole new lineup of 200+ national
and Columbus-based authors, panel discussions, author talks, book
signings and more!

The Festival Marketplace will brim
with dozens of bookish retailers, community exhibitors, an entertainment
lineup, local food court and the popular Indie Author Alley pavilion
and Friends of the Library Big Book Sale tent.

As always, this event is free and open to all book lovers.
