THE 2021 MAPSO BOOK FEST – KIDS, BRING YOUR PARENTS
THE 2021 MAPLEWOOD SOUTH ORANGE BOOK FESTIVAL WILL BE ALL-CHILDREN’S AUTHORS ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH
Due to COVID, most publishers are not booking events for their adult authors, so we decided to go all-kid’s authors for 2021. A bit different than in the past, but we are really looking forward to a different kind of festival during a very different time. The festival will also be one-day only this year, Sunday, September 26th, from 11AM-4PM at the Woodland in Maplewood, NJ. The festival is free of charge. We hope many of you will join us! All COVID precautions will be followed, and strictly enforced!
