Young Adult Book Festival

We’re running a YA Book Festival!

The festival is for readers aged 11-16 – tickets are FREE and available now!

Join us on Saturday September 14th at Stowmarket Library, 10.30-4pm, for a day of meeting authors, author panels, interviews, activities and a YA book fair.

If you’re not in the target audience for the Young Adult Book Festival, don’t despair! You are very welcome to come to the library for our FREE YA Book Fair, running alongside the festival events.

Meet our fantastic authors, ask questions, pick up signed books, and find your new favourite YA read! Our YA Book Fair will be running all day in the main body of the library, 10.30am to 4pm – no ticket required.

We’re welcoming eight Young Adult authors to Stowmarket, to bring you the best in YA books, author panels and discussions – plus a chance to meet the authors, ask questions and buy signed books!
