COMING IN 2026!
We are delighted to present the first ever Carroll Book Festival on Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. The day will build upon Carroll County, Maryland's reputation as being a community of readers who support authors.
Check back soon for more information!
- Activities including: children's character breakfast, ticketed author events, book signings, book-related vendors, author panels, book sales

- Projected attendance: 5,000+
We need your help to make our dream a reality. Right now, we are gathering supporters to help us secure authors and sponsorships to offset event costs. Please help us ensure that literacy remains a priority in our community and let us know how you can help today. Proceeds will benefit literacy needs in Carroll County.
Carroll Book Festival is presented by Carroll County Public Library in partnership with Park Books on Main, Carroll County Economic Development, Last Word Bookstore, and the Two Sides to the Story Podcast.
