This program is partially produced with the support of the State of New York Office of Children and Family Services upon the legislative initiative of Assembly member Jonathan Jacobson.

This fest will include a DOUBLE BOOK LAUNCH at 3PM. You can come and go to the fest all day, but we’re asking folks to RSVP for the book launch at 3PM. :)

Friendly reminder, no outside books allowed at Stanza events. All books for signing must be purchased at Stanza.
