On Saturday, Sept. 18, the 10th annual Kansas Book Festival will take place at Washburn University, hosted by the Mabee Library at the center of campus. The 2021 Festival, which is back after being canceled by COVID in 2020, will include free presentations by 50 authors, as well as outdoor performances, food vendors and exhibitor tents with publishers from around Kansas.
The headliner for the 2021 Kansas Book Festival is Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments. Nezhukumatathil's winsome collection of nature essays includes stories from time spent as a child in Larned, and it was selected as a Favorite Book of the Year by Barnes and Noble as well as National Public Radio. It also was selected by the State Library of Kansas for a 2021 Kansas Notable Book award.
