Mission Statement

Fall for the Book’s mission is to connect readers and writers, and to enhance the role of reading and writing in our community. We believe in the power of literature and storytelling to bring us together, to foster connections between people and across communities, and that reading and experiencing literature together encourages cultural growth, expands our sense of empathy, and grows our knowledge of one another and the world around us. Our flagship event, the annual Fall for the Book festival, and our year-round programming aim to provide a writer for every reader, to offer readers opportunities to connect with authors and literature in new and vibrant ways, and to create literary events that foster connection within our community and the greater community of readers and writers.
