Humanities Texas’s eighth annual Holiday Book Fair, held on December 3, 2016, was our most successful book fair to date! Readers of all ages joined us at the Byrne-Reed House in Austin for the festive event. Guests had the opportunity to chat with twenty-one participating authors, whose titles included works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The crowd also enjoyed hot coffee and a bake sale of homemade and donated treats. All proceeds will benefit Texas libraries.
