City of Houston Book Fair

A Community Book Fair

Get ready, Houston! On April 11, we're bringing the block to life with a free, full-day celebration of books, community, and joy — right in the heart of where we live.

This is more than a book fair. It's a community experience designed for K–12 students and their families. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to leave with something new in your hands.

Here's what's waiting for you:

📚 Free Books — Every child goes home with books. No cost, no catch.

🎤 Author Talks & Featured Speakers — Hear directly from real authors and thought leaders who look like us, write for us, and believe in the power of our stories.

🏆 Summer Reading Competition — Kick off the summer strong. Sign up on-site and compete for prizes while building a reading habit that lasts.

🎪 Bouncy House — Because kids deserve to celebrate too.

🚚 Food Trucks — Good food, good vibes. Come with an appetite.

This event is free and open to all families. Whether your reader is in kindergarten or 12th grade, there's something here for them — and for you.

📅 April 11, 2025 📍 Sunnyside Multi-Service Center 🎟️ Free Admission | All Ages Welcome

The event is proudly sponsored by Kindred Stories, the University of Houston, and the Barbara Bush Foundation.
