Fall for the Book Celebrates 25 Years
Fall for the Book is celebrating our silver anniversary in 2023 by shifting our festival’s paradigm to a year-round model, because we read year round. From our podcast, to our new Mini Fest in the Spring, to expanding our other programming, we’re thrilled for these new changes.
