Our first Decatur Children’s Book Festival is in the books!

A big thanks to all who participated — from authors and attendees to volunteers and partners, we couldn’t have done it without you! It was a glorious weekend of bookish fun and an exciting start to a new Decatur tradition.

We’re already thinking about next year, so be sure to save the date! We’ll see you May 2nd–4th, in partnership once again with our friends at the Decatur Arts Festival!
