Book Fair

Western Technical College

Saturday 9:00 am – 2:30 pm 

Are you curious to browse titles from regional small presses? Excited to peruse books by local authors? Visit the Book Fair! Come wander the tables and meet authors and publishers in the McIntosh Memorial Library lobby and Western Technical College.

We don’t know about you, but we think books make great gifts – for yourself and others – and we love supporting small presses, independent bookstores, and regional authors. You’ll have the opportunity to do just that at the festival’s Book Fair!

In addition to our favorite small presses and authors, Dragonfly Books (Decorah’s local independent bookstore) will be selling books by the festival’s featured authors in the McIntosh Memorial Library lobby on Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. The festival’s authors will also be meeting the public and signing books in the lobby. Meet your favorite author and snap up some summertime reads!

The Friends of the McIntosh Memorial Library will be holding a Buy One Get One Free sale during the Ridges & Rivers Book Festival on April 26. The bookstore is located just inside the entrance to the library.

And many of the book fair authors will be reading in the Conference Room of McIntosh Memorial Library from 9:15 am – 2:15 pm. Discover new writers and new stories!
