Book festival to celebrate children and young adult literature “The festival is designed to engage young people and their families and will include many interactive sessions. The idea is for everyone to have fun and to reinforce the idea that reading is fun,” Capriola said of the festival, which will take place May 3 through 5 in downtown Decatur, concurrent with the Decatur Arts Festival. The festival kicks off May 3 at First Baptist Church of Decatur with keynote presentations by authors Kate Dicamillo, LaDarrion Williams, and Rebecca Ross. “We are thrilled to host a festival that will encourage young readers to continue exploring the world of literature,” Capriola said. “We feel fortunate to have such great voices joining us and hope this will foster a lifelong love of reading.” Other venues for Decatur Children’s Book Festival events include the Decatur Recreation Center and the Decatur Library. More than 25 businesses and organizations have signed on as exhibitors. There will be two festival stages with ongoing activities—one for children 12 and younger and another for teens through adults. Events other than the keynote presentation will be free. Tickets to the Decatur Children’s Book Festival keynote event on May 3 can be found on Eventbrite.
