Check out our Summer Reading Program!
Our Summer Reading Program has selections of books from the North Carolina Battle of the Books, American Library Association award winners, North Carolina Book award winners, and upcoming festival authors. The beauty of the Bookmarks program is that kids can read books over the summer, then come to our Festival on September 8 and actually meet and hear from the authors they read. In addition to the reading opportunities in our program, there are additional activities for children to engage within our community from participating in an art jam downtown, visiting a park, or writing a letter to an author coming to Festival.
