About TBF

Teens can sometimes be overlooked in libraries, with much attention, money, and resources given to children and adults. Somewhat caught in the middle of budgetary constraints, this is our opportunity to dedicate an event to teens, to encourage their reading, and to demonstrate their value to and within our communities. And…to have fun!
Connect
Promote

Support and celebrate recreational teen reading, and promote spreading the enjoyment of reading to others.

Educate

Entertain, educate, and enrich teens and other Festival participants.

The event itself is absolutely incredible - no detail left unturned, and I do believe all book festivals should thrive to be like this one. Thanks to all the volunteers who make this event happen, because books matter and teens matter!!!
