Meet and greet your favorite authors and illustrators whose works cover reading ages from preschool to young adult. Have your picture taken with costumed book characters and make some fun crafts. Books will be available to purchase — and to have autographed by the ones who created them.

Plus, every child 17 and younger will receive one free book voucher (valued at $15) upon entry into the festival! Book vouchers are made possible by the Friends of the Poughkeepsie Public Library District.
