2008 MAYSVILLE FESTIVAL OF BOOKS
The fourth annual Maysville Festival of Books book fair will be held on December 13, 2008 from 10 am until 3pm. Location to be determined.
The Book Fair is a fundraiser for the Museum Center's education programs. The historical research library contains over 19,000 archival documents, more than 18,000 photographs and postcards, nearly 5,000 research library books, computerized databases and Internet access, and reference materials and books devoted to genealogical research. The museum exhibits illustrate the history of this pioneer gateway to the west.
The event is being publicized throughout Kentucky and Ohio, drawing potential buyers and book lovers. Authors will be seated at tables, where they will meet the buyers introducing themselves and their book(s) to a large and varied audience. Some of the authors will also read excerpts from their books and be available to answer questions about their work.
Authors will offer a wide variety of adult, children, cookbooks, and poetry books.
Again, the 4th annual Book Fair will be held at an ideal time, just before the holidays. Last year's Book Fair audience demonstrated that personalized, autographed books are excellent gifts for birthdays and the holidays.
