Description

LITERARY FESTIVAL: Every year, the Millbrook Literary Festival, sponsored by Dactyl Foundation, features nationally recognized authors and promotes our talented local and regional writers, with panels that are accessible and interesting to all ages. This festival presents many timely, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining authors and illustrators participating in panel discussions, readings, and signings throughout the day at the Millbrook Library. Whether we prefer printed books, ebooks, or audiobooks, reading is not something we do strictly in isolation. The Millbrook Literary Festival brings together a vibrant community of readers and writers to discuss how what we read — in history, culture, science, politics, and etc — relates to our everyday lives. millbrookliteraryfestival.org. Festival Location: 3 Friendly Lane, Millbrook, New York 12545, in Dutchess County.
