Our first Festival Day was a huge success!

We had no idea what to expect. After six months of planning, we opened the doors at 11am on Saturday, Nov 16 and found A LINE of people waiting to get in. And that line continued for the entire day. 1,300 of you showed up. It brought tears to our eyes. So many happy families, so many excited young readers, so much book love. 

We took many notes about the day and also collected feedback. As we move forward with our plans for 2025, we will be looking for ways to make more room so no one has to wait outside. That is our goal!

Thank you so much to the community for embracing this new venture. We couldn't do this without you.
