If your idea of paradise is a bookstore or a library, you’ll want to head to Berkeley for the Bay Area Book Festival, which will take place in two parts on Saturday May 31 & Sunday June 1, 2025
Saturday, May 31 is Family Day — so, bring your little ones and middle-graders to the Berkeley Public Library downtown for the best stuff!
All the reasons we love the library >
Activities for Family Day of the Book Fest
Family Day will again be filled with readings, panels, discussions, and interactive fun featuring the most exciting and engaging names in young people’s literature. New this year: Family Day is being co-presented in partnership with the Social Justice Children’s Book Fair!
As always, look for free books and lots more available to purchase. Bring a huge tote!
All children’s events are free, some may require pre-registration.
