The Youth Literature Festival is a free, family-friendly celebration of reading, storytelling, and creativity hosted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
The Festival will bring nationally recognized authors and illustrators to the I-Hotel on Saturday, September 26th for a day of author presentations,
hands-on crafts and activities, book sales and signings, and live performances —all designed to inspire a love of reading and connect young people with literature in meaningful ways. The event is free and open to all ages.
Please remember that events may be canceled or rescheduled last minute due to unpredictable weather or other factors. We encourage you to reach out to event organizers before heading out to an event to verify it is still happening.
