Happy to be a part of this great event! See you next year.

The 2022 Ohioana Book Festival is now history, as the final author event was held today: a book signing by Mindy McGinnis and Author Natalie D. Richards at the beautiful Paragraphs Bookstore in Mount Vernon! The first festival event, Doug Dangler's interview with George Bilgere on WCBE 90.5 FM's Craft - The Show, took place April 13. Between then and today, we presented a total of 44 festival programs - panel discussions, conversations, media and outreach events, school and library visits. Six programs were done in-person or hybrid - our first in-person events in three years! Thanks again to everyone who helped make the festival a great success. We will see you LIVE next year - Saturday, April 29 - at the Columbus Metropolitan Library's Main Library!
