Book Expo


2010 P&P Book Expo: Attendees listen to live readings and explore the C-SPAN interactive bus

The Pages & Places Book Expo will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm on Courthouse Square while the panel discussions are taking place. The Book Expo is free and open to the public and features some things you won’t want to miss . . .

The Courthouse Square Book Expo brings publishers of all shapes and sizes—from our great commercial publishers like Norton and HarperCollins to the vast range of niche’ enterprises that is the current American renaissance in independent publishing. Each will be selling new and popular titles from their presses.

And while you’re browsing books, take a moment to listen to the live music and readings—hosted by the Lackawanna County Library System. And this year, from 10am to 3pm, the Lackawanna County Library System has partnered with the Everhart Museum and the Scranton Cultural Center to present a Civil War-themed street fair, offering face-painting, dance, storytelling, and more.

For the second time, Pages & Places Book Festival is our day-long series of writing and industry workshops. Published authors will run six 45-minute craft sessions, where festival-goers interested in pursuing their own literary endeavors can learn and discuss what it takes to write and publish their work.
