Books by the Banks!

Categories: Local Interest

"So, there's going to be this book festival, with 90 authors and 17 panel discussions, and activites for kids, and books for sale, and it's all free?  Really? Where will it be - in Chicago? New York? Maybe Atlanta?"  It is for real, and it is happening right here in river city on November 3rd, 2007.  There may or may not be a truly viable "Banks Development Project", but the river itself does have banks, hence the name of the festival, Books by the Banks.

The idea has been floating around for several years, and owing to a well-orchestrated collaboration between some of our city's finest institutions, it will all come together on Saturday at the Duke Energy Center at Fifth and Elm Streets in downtown Cincinnati. 

Fiction authors? Yes.  Local history? Yes.  Cookbooks, home decorating? Yes and Yes.  Children's books, novels for teens,  and lots of authors who love to talk with people who love books.  What could be better?
