You didn’t really think your TBR pile was full, did you?

Let’s hope not — because the ultimate bibliophile’s weekend is (almost) here.

From Thursday, Oct. 23 to Sunday, Oct. 26, the Wisconsin Book Festival’s 24th annual Fall Celebration brings 70+ authors to Central Library and downtown Madison venues to share their latest works.

This free, public festival celebrates genres from fiction and poetry to nonfiction — with something for readers of all ages.

Psst... See who’s speaking and start planning your visit.
