A celebration of reading and literacy, the sixth annual Philadelphia Book Festival takes place April 16-21, 2012, with evening Author Events at Parkway Central featuring world-renowned writers, including United States Poet Laureate Philip Levine and National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Robert Polito, and a First Person StorySlam, where competing storytellers will expose their best mistaken-identity stories.
On Saturday, April 21—in conjunction with the Philadelphia Science Festival—science takes center stage in the Montgomery Auditorium. Enjoy an afternoon of lively talks from celebrated authors, such as bestselling science writer Dava Sobel on revolutionary astronomer Copernicus; a discussion of whale science, history, and policy with D. Graham Burnett; and a talk with Jonathan Haidt, award-winning psychologist and author of The Happiness Hypothesis. Stay tuned for more news about the line-up of exciting programs in the coming weeks! Hope to see you at the Library! For event updates - including when to register as an exhibitor - join our email list, or join the Festival community on Facebook or Twitter @PhillyBookFest.
