One more time. Don't forget to stop by our sponsor's booths on Saturday - Missouri Humanities, Reedy Press, and Friends of the Washington Public Library will be there. Stop by, ask questions, and let them know they are appreciated. If you can afford to support their causes, please do. It takes many partners to make the MOBookFest go!

Weird Pets with Grace Appell
Grace will bring her popular Washington Public Library program "Weird Pets" to the MOBookFest! She will present a variety of strange pets and talk about their care and behavior. Animals will include a frog, a snake, a lizard, and a hedgehog - and maybe more.
