New Deal book festival

- June
- 19
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum will host the Roosevelt Reading Festival from 10 a.m .to 5 p.m. Saturday at Historic Hyde Park’s Wallace Center.
The theme this year is New Deal books, and it coordinates with an exhibit “Action, and Action Now” about FDR’s first 100 days and celebrates the 75th anniversary of the start of the New Deal.
The festival consists of six concurrent sessions throughout the day. Twelve authors of recently published works that draw upon the Roosevelt Library archives will present author talks followed by book signings and question-and-answer sessions. Copies of all of the authors’ books will be available for sale in the New Deal Museum Store located in the Wallace Center.
Both the book festival and exhibit are free of charge.
