Cow Creek Book Festival 2012

A HUGE "thank you" goes out to everyone involved in making the inaugural Cow Creek Book Festival a great success!  We had a great crowd for Clare Vanderpool at 10:30 Saturday morning.  We had a wonderful time with our great friends and partners, the Hutchinson / Reno Arts and Humanities Council and the excellent refreshments they provided.  And our Friends of the Hutchinson Public Library group sent a tremendous amount of used books out through the library garage with their 1/2 price sale kick-off event!

Here are a few shots from the day (more author pictures on the way):

Almost Time - Cow Creek Book Festival 3/31

It's almost here!  This Saturday, March 31st is the inaugural Cow Creek Book Festival.  Our special guest, Clare Vanderpool will present at 10:30 am in the library auditorium.  This is a great opportunity to hear from a local (Wichita-based) Newbery Award-winning author about the craft of writing!

Also, there will be a number of other really wonderful local and regional authors speaking throughout the day.  Weather permitting, the big tent out in the lot at 10th Avenue and Main Street will house all the fun and festivities!  If the weather is bad or it is too muddy, all activities will move in to the library.

Authors will have books for sale and there will beopportunities for author autographs as well as talking about writing, getting published, etc. will abound.  Please stop by and enjoy!
