Bookmarks' Festival of Books and Authors 2014
Here are some of the photos from the Bookmarks' Festival of Books and Authors 2014, which is one of the mini-grants the North Carolina Humanities Council funded this year.
Bookmarks brings writers and readers of all ages together as renowned authors, illustrators, and storytellers share their work and insights through readings, presentations, panel discussions, workshops and booksignings. This free festival partners with community organizations, reading related exhibitors, and a variety of food vendors. The tenth annual festival will feature more than 40 authors along with creative and interactive activities for children. Authors include Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Scott Berg (Wilson: A Biography), National Book Award-winner, James McBride (The Good Lord Bird), and New York Times bestselling authors, Karen Abbott (Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War); Jennifer S. Holland (Unlikely Heroes: 37 Inspiring Stories of Courage and Heart from the Animal Kingdom); Sam Kean (The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons), Eric Litwin (four Pete the Cat books and The Nuts series) and Robert Morgan (The Road to Gap Creek).
