The Heartland Book Festival will showcase the best in literature and literacy, featuring local and national authors, publishers, and bookstores. With author talks, panel discussions, book signings, workshops, and more, there is something for everyone at this free event.

Your donation helps us provide a unique opportunity for readers from across the region to connect with authors, discover new books, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

If you’re in a book club, we know you already have an appreciation and love for literature. Spread that love by becoming a festival sponsor! When your book club gives $500, you not only help us present local and national authors for free to the public, but you will also receive ten VIP seats to see Tommy Orange in conversation with Deborah Jackson Taffa and ten signed copies of Orange’s newest book, Wandering Stars. Participating Book Clubs will be acknowledged throughout the festival.

Don't miss this unique opportunity for readers from across the region to connect with authors, discover new books, and honor our community's love of reading. Grab some bookish friends and donate online, or for more details, email philanthropy@kclibrary.org!
