Story times take place behind the Children’s Authors Tent on the lower level of Joseph-Beth in Lexington. Don’t forget to ask a book festival volunteer about a free book voucher for kids 12 years old and under! Visit dozens of authors of books for pre-K through middle grade readers in the big white tent.
No purchase or registration is required to participate in this activity at the Kentucky Book Festival on October 29.
