Library Calendar

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 in grades K-12, 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! In 2013, Children's Day will be on Friday, April 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Day 2 is held on Saturday and is the major book festival and signing event. It will take place on Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 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.

The Kentucky Writers Conference is made possible through the generous support of Dollar General. Authors who will be participating in the Book Fest on Saturday, April 20, 2013 will give attendees at the Writers Conference the benefit of their wisdom on Friday, April 19, 2013. Free workshops on a variety of writing topics will be presented during this day-long event. Sessions run for 75 minutes and the day begins at 9:00am and ends at 3:30pm. The conference is open to anyone who would like to attend including high school students, college students, teachers, and the general public. No registration is required; however, if you are bringing a class please let us know.
