We can all agree that books are pretty awesome. They allow us to leave our problems behind and enter a completely different world for a while. Upon returning to reality, we often realize how trivial the worrisome matter was in the first place. Each year, the Tempe Public Library hosts a festival where bookworms can congregate to meet some of their favorite authors and pay homage to the magic that happens when ideas become written words.

This annual event lets book lovers of all ages come together and celebrate the incredible gift of written word. Local authors, booksellers, and publishers will be in attendance, so you definitely won't want to miss out on an opportunity to meet some of your favorite people.
