The Wasatch Festival of Books at Library Square will take place on Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19. All events are at the Salt Lake City Public Library’s Main Library in downtown Salt Lake City.
Bringing together a variety of acclaimed authors, readings, and interactive public events, this two-day event is a community celebration of the power of reading—for all ages, and in all its forms. (And yes, for people who love genre stories, graphic novels, and audiobooks, this is your festival too!) All events are free and open to the public.

Each year, the Utah Humanities Book Festival brings a wide array of literary events to urban centers and rural communities across the state. As part of this month-long celebration, the Wasatch Festival of Books at Library Square serves as a flagship event for the residents of Utah, Salt Lake, and Davis counties.
