Children's Book Festival

8th Annual Children's Book Festival
September 21, 2013, 11 - 4 p.m.

The Princeton Children's Book Festival is an annual event each September at the Princeton Public Library and the Albert E. Hinds Memorial Plaza.

Our community is one that loves the library and loves books. The Princeton Children's Book Festival is a celebration of this pairing. This well-attended event continues to grow yearly and promises something for everyone. Here, you may meet your favorite author or illustrator, listen to them discuss their work, have a book autographed, or just have the opportunity to talk to them about their inspirations.

This is a free, rain-or-shine event that offers many additional fun activities throughout the afternoon. The Princeton Children's Book Festival is an event that should not be missed.

Please visit our new Princeton Children's Book Festival website for a list of participating authors and illustrators.

For additional information about the Festival, please contact Allison Santos.
