Thanks again for making [last year's] BookSpring Fest possible, ...we had over 600 people in attendance, had over 30 special guests read aloud and perform, distributed over 870 books to children in our community, and had so many happy faces all around! ...we were able to provide free carnival games, refreshments, face painters, balloon makers, covid vaccines, and a petting zoo to all the families in attendance so everyone (especially families that might not be able to afford to go to a festival otherwise) could enjoy celebrating reading! - Bianca Paz-Cisneros, BookSpring
