After 11 successful years, Madison Public Library is taking over as organizer of the Wisconsin Book Festival from the Wisconsin Humanities Council. The 2013 festival will incorporate literature, spoken word, art, and performance. We will feature local literary talents alongside national voices to create a unique event full of free community programs in keeping with our library's mission to learn, share and create. Full schedule to be released soon!
