LBCC hosts The Festival of Great Reads book fair

By Taylor Robinson

This will be Great Reads’ fifth year hosting the book fair, which will be held at the Pacific Coast Campus on Apr. 27, 2024, the book fair started in 2017 to help young and old audiences get into reading a variety of literature.

This book fair is the only book fair in Long Beach and everyone will want to come to this book fair to enjoy a free event.

The event aims to celebrate reading and literature by featuring book vendors, authors, poetry readings and panel discussions.

The book fair helps to get new readers and nonreaders into books and literature that these readers haven’t heard of.

The event is for all ages so there’s something for everyone like a poetry reading or going to one of the panel discussions.

The book fair will also be giving away free books, which will be a great opportunity to get some free books.

“We started the Great Reads Book fair to help people get interested in reading books and many other types of literature,” said Founder of Great Reads, Andrean Jacobs.

Even if you’re not into books, the event will feature performances like singers, pianist and performers who will be playing classical music that will keep all attendees interested for many hours.

This will be an event that no one wants to miss since a lot of great book authors like Shannon Hale and Simon Shieh will be speaking at the book fair.

“Even though we are a smaller book fair, we still get a lot of people to come that are from Long Beach,” said Great Reads Public Relations Manager, Jocelin Flores.

The Great Reads Book Fair will be a great event for any book lover who wants to see authors and panelists.

Make sure to stop by the book fair to receive free books and listen to authors, you don’t want to miss this event.
