What is Back to Back Books?

If you enjoyed the SOKY Book Fest,
you’ll LOVE this book lovers festival.

Hosted independently by Warren County Public Library with retail assistance from Plaid Elephant Books, this festival will put you in touch with published authors, give you access to excellent presentations by best-selling authors, provide a chance for you to receive a *FREE copy of the headliners’ books, and let you purchase titles by them and additional authors in attendance. Presentations will take place at the Capitol. Books may be purchased and/or signed in the Author Hall.

*Here’s how the FREE book system will work: The first 200 audience members may receive a voucher upon exit that can be redeemed following each presentation in the Author Hall.
