“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
– Jane Austen – Pride and Prejudice
Everything we do ~ is possible only

With you on our team we will continue to put on a spectacular Bookfest event for the Central Valley of California. The day includes author talks on six stages, a costume parade, slam poetry performances, street performers, cooking demos, self-publishing seminars, writers’ workshops, new and used booksellers, class-authored book displays, arts & crafts, plus gourmet food and beverage vendors. The mission of the Great Valley Bookfest is to provide a family-friendly festival that celebrates literacy and promotes the written word in the heart of California’s Central Valley.
