The Book Festival of the MJCCA

The Book Festival of the MJCCA

For 18 successful years, the Book Festival of the MJCCA has provided our community with a 10-day literary extravaganza featuring an exciting lineup of the year’s most exceptional authors. From history to mystery, fiction to fact, politics to religion, and humor to political satire, the Book Festival has something to satisfy every age and interest.

Every November, thousands of book lovers come together to listen to, meet, and interact with their favorite authors in a variety of forums including author meet-and-greets, book signings, a community read, panel discussions, children’s and teen activities, and more.
