Thanks for the heavy lifting, Lift Bridge! Can we just take a moment to reminisce about all the happy little sundries we saw in their hoppin’ pop-up shop at the festival? If there's something you wanted (or a few somethings!) that didn't come home with you, or you need the perfect gift for someone on your holiday list, visit them in person or online today! It's the perfect shop-portunity for Black Friday or Small Business Saturday! Support our supporters!

WOW. As they say in the film biz, that’s a wrap! Another successful festival is in the books, our biggest yet! From book signings to powerful panels, literary conversations to maker spaces, we celebrated kidlit and texts for teens in style all day long!

What an inspiring day! This year's event has come and gone, but the connections we made together live on forever! Stay tuned for a handful of highlights as we drift down from the heights of our soaring book flights.
