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.

What I loved most about it was the atmosphere of friendship that flowed through it. There was no “us” vs. “them.” No outsiders. We were all insiders, all of us who are passionate about good books; the kids, librarians, parents, teachers, authors. We all connected through our love of story. For a few hours, we filled the safest place in the world. I wish I could have captured the feeling and bottled it.
