Come for the free books and stay for all the fun activities! Whether you’re a fan of fiction or non-fiction, or looking for children’s books, there’s something for everyone at Book Fest.
In addition to free books, there will be children’s story time (in English, Spanish, and possibly Somali), a special book auction, and a book art project!
Book donations are now being accepted.* Here are the ways you can donate:
1. YMCA Book Collection Bin
From today until March 31st, a book collection bin will be available at the Blaisdell YMCA for community members to drop off book donations. YMCA's hours are 5am-9pm (Mon-Fri) and 7am-9pm (Sat and Sun).
2. LNA Book Drop Off Days
On March 12th, 17th, 19th, 24th, 26th, and 31st, community members can drop off book donations at the SNAC Office (3537 Nicollet Ave) between 9am-5pm.
