The Alabama Book Festival is a signature literary event for the state. It strives

The Alabama Book Festival showcases writers from both within Alabama and from without for a wide reading audience, including children and young adults. It is designed to appeal to all ages and interests. Its partners, including the Alabama Public Library Service and the Alabama State Council on the Arts, help make it a true statewide event.
