Amid the drama and uncertainty of school was one glimmering spot of hope and happiness: the Book Fair. Getting to take a few minutes out of your regular school day to wander the bookshelves was as enchanting as walking through the wardrobe into Narnia.
It is time to enjoy the adult thrill of the Book Fair at Earnest Brew Works with Gathering Volumes and benefiting the Northwest Ohio Teen Book Festival, Thursday, November 2 from 5 – 9 pm!
The fundraiser is for adults 21+ and the funds raised are used to provide free meals to students at the Northwest Ohio Teen Book Festival.

The Northwest Ohio Teen Book Festival is a book festival focused on the teens and tweens of Northwest Ohio. The Northwest Ohio Teen Book Festival team is an all-volunteer group made up of lovers of literature, who have come together to create a fantastic opportunity for teens from Northwest Ohio and the surrounding area to meet their favorite authors and discover new authors.
Book Festivals help keep teenagers reading for pleasure. Reading on their own develops stronger social skills, vocabulary and writing skills, helps them understand & process more complex ideas, expands their ability to build knowledge, and clarifies their career goals.
Keep an eye out here for details on the authors, scheduling, and programming that will be part of the Northwest Ohio Teen Book Festival!
