Kentucky Humanities will present the 38th Annual Kentucky Book Fair on Saturday, November 16, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park. The Kentucky Book Fair is the anchor event of the Kentucky Book Festival taking place November 10-16.

 

“The Kentucky Book Fair is among the longest running events of its kind in the country,” said Kentucky Humanities Executive Director Bill Goodman. “It is a joy and a privilege to give all Kentuckians the opportunity to meet authors from all over the country, as well as Kentucky’s own. We are looking forward to a fantastic day celebrating writing, reading, literacy, creativity, and civil discourse.”
