What is the Festival of Books?
The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books began in 1996 with a simple goal: to
bring together the people who create books with the people who love to read
them. The festival has since evolved to include live
bands, poetry readings, chef demos, cultural entertainment and artists creating
their work on-site. There's also a photography exhibit, film screenings followed
by Q&A's and discussion panels on some of today's hottest topics.
