Successful First Annual Hill Country Book Festival

First Annual Hill Country Book Festival

- a Huge Success -

Saturday, October 11^th the Georgetown, Texas Public Library was abuzz with activities. The children’s department had crafts, face painting, live music, along with stories and presentations from their favorite authors and illustrators.

 

The community rooms of the library provided an opportunity for readers to meet over forty authors representing a wide variety of genres. Whatever a person’s interest area, there seemed to be an author who worked in that field.

For those desiring in-depth learning, celebrity authors provided informative presentations in the library classroom.

I would like to say a big thank you to the Hill Country Book Festival Board of Directors, Connie Miller, Phyllis Moses, Margie Boyd, Margarite Holt and the scores of volunteers who worked on this project.

The festival was definitely exemplary and a great asset to the city of Georgetown and the encouragement of literacy throughout Williamson County.

Make plans now to attend the Second Annual Hill Country Book Festival in 2009. Check the festival website  http://www.hillcountrybookfestival.org or call 512-864-1412 for future details.
