The Greensboro Bound Book Festival was held in Greensboro on Saturday, May 17th. With a total of fifteen sessions, the festival was a smaller festival this year than it has been in the past; however, the sessions that were held were very good. The four venues were 1_ Greenhill Center for NC Art, Greensboro History Museum (photographed above- during the festival), Van Dyke Performance Space, and Greensboro Public Library.
One of the most exciting events surrounding the festival was the May 15th, lead-up event featuring bestselling author Percival Everett. It was held at UNCG, in the Elliot University Center- Auditorium, a partnership between the UNCG University Libraries and Greensboro Bound. That event was free, but tickets had to be secured ahead of time as it quickly became fully subscribed. Mark you calendars for next year. The festival is usually the third Saturday in May. For anyone associated with the public schools and higher education, this is a very busy time of year. Contributing to and making time for Greensboro Bound is a good investment in the literary future of our community. It is a really good way to find material for a summer reading list.
Happy Wednesday!
