Home to Harlem

Harlem Book Fair.gifWho says Black folks don’t read books? They never visited the Harlem Book Fair.

Book sellers, book lovers, authors, publishers, agents, and the just plain curious will all descend on 135th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard this weekend for the 6th annual festival. There will also be a full day of panel discussions on a variety of literary topics.

It’s the largest book fair of its kind and is expected to draw more than 40,000 people. There will be 250 booths, plus storytellers, spoken word poets and opportunities to meet and greet some of your favorite authors. It runs from 12 pm to 7 pm.
