Let's Play Books in Emmaus, Pa., is partnering with the Bethlehem Area Public Library to launch the inaugural Lehigh Valley Book Festival, scheduled for the last weekend in March.
The bulk of the festival's programming will take place on Saturday, March 28, at the Bethlehem Area Public Library. From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., readers will have the chance to attend author panels and meet a variety of writers and illustrators. Events will cater to children, teens and adults.
Along with the Saturday events, there will be an Authors' and Illustrators' Reception on Friday night and separate speaker programs held on Sunday at Let's Play Books and Art Quest/Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, Pa. A writers' conference, entitled Diverse Communities and the Writer's Voice, will lead into the weekend.
A full schedule of events will be available in February.
