Authors and their books are starting to arrive! 

Wondering about where to park?

Helpful people at the Crescent will direct you to Harmon Park where our shuttle will take you up to the festival and back at the end of the day.

See you on Sunday!

Books in Bloom Literary Festival: a Garden Party Celebration for Writers and Readers was established in 2005 by the Carroll and Madison Public Library Foundation to promote the value of books and reading. The Festival provides an opportunity for the public to meet authors and to hear them speak about their work and various aspects of writing and publishing.

The date for Books in Bloom 2013 is set - May 19, 2013 - from 12 Noon to 5:00 pm, at the Crescent Hotel.  We look forward to seeing you during the Ozarks loveliest season.
